Kenesaw S. Shumate Memorial Fund

The Kenesaw S. Shumate Memorial Fund was established October 5, 1979, by the Board of Trustees of The Ohio State University with gifts to The Ohio State University Development Fund from friends and colleagues of Kenesaw S. Shumate, Professor of Civil Engineering and Chemical Engineering, and former Director of the Water Resources Center, late of Columbus, Ohio. This fund is to be used to provide scholarship assistance to graduate students pursuing a degree in the water resources area. The selection is to be made upon the recommendation of the Scholarship Committee of the Water Resources Center and would be based on nominations submitted by the graduate student’s faculty advisor.
