Joseph and Mary Capobianco Scholarship

John (B.S. ’67; M.S. ’69, Biology) and Ester Capobianco established the Joseph A. and Mary A. Capobianco Memorial Scholarship in honor of Mr. Capobianco’s parents. Joseph Capobianco (1899-1979) and Mary (Vespa) Capobianco (1900-2001) immigrated to the U.S. from Italy. They came from a poor farming community with only an elementary education background. When they arrived in the U.S. they realized that the pathway for success was through education. Thus, they impressed upon their children that in this country there are no limits in pursuing your goals and that education was the key available to everyone. The scholarship will provide support for students in the Departments of Chemistry and Biochemistry, Biological Sciences and Environmental Sciences.

Dr. Peter C. Fraleigh Memorial Scholarship

Dr. Peter Fraleigh, a retired professor of aquatic ecology, dedicated much of his life towards realizing the dream of restoring fishable and swimmable waters in Lake Erie since joining the faculty in 1972. As one of the founders of the Maumee Bay Watershed Project, he enabled hundreds of students to experience water sampling firsthand and learn how these results are valuable in improving water quality in the Maumee River watershed. Dr. Fraleigh also was instrumental in the success of the Maumee Remedial Action Plan, where he played a key role in devising goals and strategies to ultimately restore the Maumee River Area of Concern. In 1999, an unnamed tributary to the Ottawa River was named after Dr. Fraleigh in honor of his lifelong work and determination to improve the quality of life for all people in northwest Ohio.

C. V. Wolfe Natural Sciences Scholarship

The family of former professor Cletus V. Wolfe established the C. V. Wolfe Scholarship fund to provide scholarships for students in the departments of History, Natural Sciences, Theatre, and in the College of Law. The scholarship awards are based on financial need and high academic promise. Mr. Wolfe was a former high school principal, and instructor of government and constitutional law at in the 1920’s. He also served as a University trustee and chairman of the Academic Affairs Committee for six years. Mr. Wolfe practiced law in the firms of Wolfe & Seeley and Seeley, Wolfe & Rodgers. He later became a prominent businessman as president of the Western Ohio Corp. (formerly First Toledo Corp.) and founder of the Lima Lumber Co. Mr. Wolfe died in 1967 and his wife Vera died in 1991. The scholarship fund was established by their son Frederic (Fritz) Wolfe, of Perrysburg; daughters Helen Minck, Marilyn Allison and Martha Farmer, all of Lima. Fritz Wolfe says the endowed scholarship fund seemed the right tribute to his father. “Our family was academically oriented. Education was high on his list of priorities, and he was especially interested in the University of Toledo,” he says. “We decided that establishing a memorial fund that would support student scholarships was very appropriate.” (Apply via Scholarship Application for NSM at top of page.)
