Did You Know?

Did you know that Akron School has had three Daniels Scholarship winners in our history? The Daniels scholars are selected because they embody the criteria Bill Daniels defined for the program:

strength of character, leadership potential, commitment to serving their communities, academic performance or promise, well-rounded personality, and emotional maturity and stability.


In additional to those traits, the applicants must also earn a minimum GPA of 3.0 in high school, earn high scores on the SAT or ACT test, and meet financial eligibility requirements.


The three Akron graduates that were awarded this prestigious scholarship are:

Tyler Wylie in 2018

Kacyn Kessinger in 2021

Kyla Pachner in 2022
