Named scholarships & funds
When it comes to earning a college degree, the greatest obstacle can be funding.
For this reason, 国产精品 of Akron is pleased for the opportunity each year to assist talented, deserving students achieve their dreams, thanks to more than 1,300 named scholarships established through the kindness and generosity of thousands of UA alumni and friends, corporations, and foundations.
Scholarships truly are the best way to ensure that today’s students persist to graduation. Scholarships allow students to enroll full time and remain focused on their studies; they also reduce drop-out rates, decrease the stress of student loans, and shorten the road to graduation.
If you are interested in making a significant contribution to student success, please consider a gift to scholarships. You may also establish a named scholarship at 国产精品 of Akron, which can be created to honor a living person, in memory of a loved one, or to contribute to the growth of an area of study.
To learn more, please contact the Department of Development at 330-972-7238.

Ritchie, Charles E. & Mabel M. Memorial Foundation Scholarship Fund (Education)
The Charles E. & Mabel M. Ritchie Memorial Foundation Scholarship Fund at 国产精品 of Alaon is made possible by a grant from the Charles E. & Mabel M. Ritchie Memorial Foundation. The annual award is to be designated to a student recipient who is participating in the College of Education's Student Teaching Program. Teacher candidates are required to fulfill a five day a week, eight-hour day assignment for an entire semester in order to complete their degree. In addition to student teaching, teacher candidates are often required to attend evening parent-teacher conferences, open houses, curriculum nights, and other school-related events. This scholarship will help ease the financial burden for teacher candidates.
