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

Northeast Ohio Community Education Foundation Scholarship Fund

In 2013, Drs. Geneva M. and O. Rex Damron established The Northeast Ohio Community Education Foundation Scholarship Fund to support college scholarships and other educational enhancements for economically underprivileged students. The Damrons were inspired to combat the issue of many students dropping out and never finishing their dream of a college education because they lack financial aid.

The Northeast Ohio Community Education Foundation Scholarship Fund seeks to ensure that deserving students who otherwise would not have the opportunity to attend The University of 69É«ÇéƬ now will get the chance to achieve their full potential.

An award of $1,000 will be provided to students who demonstrate financial need. Additionally, the candidate(s) must have a 2.8 GPA or better. Applicants must have junior or senior classification. Preference will be given to Hispanic students.
