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.
To learn more, please contact the Department of Development at 330-972-7238.

Mostenic, Mary Award for Composition
The Mary Mostenic Award for Composition was established in 1999 by Mary Mostenic’s colleagues, in memory of her outstanding 47 years as a part-time composition teacher in the Department of English. As well as teaching composition in the Department of English at ÉðÊ¿Âþ», Ms. Mostenic taught English at East High School. She was always a caring and professional teacher, and she touched the lives of many young people with her wisdom and humor. The Akron Beacon Journal quoted Mary as avowing that, “The reward [of teaching] is to have a student call from far away to tell me they appreciated and remembered what I taught.”
