Goodyear Endows Business Scholarships at KSU
KENT, Ohio -- The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co. has endowed two scholarships at the Kent State University College of Business Administration, Deborah Spake, dean of the college, has announced. The scholarships were established in honor of Charles J. Pilliod, retired chairman and CEO of Goodyear.
The scholarships will be awarded each fall to two full-time students enrolled in the KSU business college.
During Pilliod’s 42-year career at Goodyear, he was a staunch supporter of Kent State and its college of business administration, Spake noted.
To be considered for a scholarship, a student must have above-average grades, play a leadership role in a student organization, demonstrate interest in international business, have work experience and be a sophomore or above in standing.
Recipients can use the funds for tuition, room and board, university fees, books and supplies or travel expenses to study abroad.
