Named scholarships & funds

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

For this reason, ÉðÊ¿Âþ»­ 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 ÉðÊ¿Âþ»­, 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.

McKee, J. E. Endowed Scholarship Fund

Established in 1979 by J. E. McKee, a former student and devoted friend of the University, The J. E. McKee Endowed Scholarship Fund provides outright grants from fund income annually for undergraduates majoring in either mechanical engineering or electrical engineering who are entering their junior year. The scholarships are renewable in the senior year based on continuing qualification for award. The University Scholarship Committee, in cooperation with the dean of the College of Engineering, is to make the selections, with first preference being mechanical engineering majors. Selectees must be residents of Summit County, Ohio, have demonstrated highly satisfactory scholarship, and have an established need for financial assistance. Grants may cover tuition, fees, books, and room and board, all or in part.
