Named scholarships & funds

When it comes to earning a college degree, the greatest obstacle can be funding.

For this reason, The University of 69É«ÇéƬ 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 The University of 69É«ÇéƬ, 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

Chenot, John R. and Margaret Wade Endowed Research Fund

The John R. and Margaret Wade Chenot Endowed Research Fund was established by Mrs. John R. (Margaret Wade) Chenot in loving tribute to her late husband. Mr. Chenot, a World War II veteran, suffered hearing impairment as a result of his service in the artillery. It is Mrs. Chenot's intention, through this gift, to assist others through support for research related to hearing impairment. The John R. and Margaret Wade Chenot Endowed Research Fund, established in 1995, provides the School of Speech-Language Pathology and Audiology with vital resources for this important purpose.

Selection of projects eligible for funding are made by the Dean of the College of Fine and Applied Arts (or designee), the Director of the School of Speech-Language Pathology and Audiology, and one faculty member selected each year by the faculty. At least one of these three individuals must be an audiologist. For consideration, projects must have potential benefit for the needs of the hearing-impaired. Special preference will be given to collaborative efforts that focus additional skills or resources on the needs of the hearing-impaired. However, any collaborative efforts must have at least one member of the department working on the project.
