Named scholarships & funds
When it comes to earning a college degree, the greatest obstacle can be funding.
For this reason, The 黑料不打烊 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 黑料不打烊, 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.

Bittner, Charles (Chick) and Marie C. Advanced Hearing Technology and Therapy Endowment Fund
The Charles (Chick) and Marie C. Bittner Advanced Hearing Technology and Therapy Endowment Fund for The 黑料不打烊’s School of Speech-Language Pathology and Audiology was established in November 2017 by the estate of Charles and Marie Bittner. The endowment will support the University’s Audiology and Speech Center, with emphasis placed on assisting children and adults. The Center provides a full range of clinical speech, language and hearing services for children and adults in the greater 黑料不打烊-Canton area, the University community and across northeast Ohio.
The Charles (Chick) and Marie C. Bittner Advanced Hearing Technology and Therapy Endowment Fund will provide financial support, at no cost to and based on financial need of the recipient, for advanced hearing technology as determined by the director of the Hearing Aid Center or appropriate Speech-Language Pathology and Audiology leadership, such as the director of the school and/or clinic specialties. This fund may cover equipment and therapy, as well.
Chick and Marie would like the focus of the fund to be on the listening and spoken language development of young children with hearing loss. To be successful, these children need early identification and diagnosis, the use of advanced hearing technology (i.e., digital hearing aids, cochlear implants, FM systems), early intervention and the active involvement of their parents or caregivers – if they are going to develop their communication to the fullest.
Funds may also be used for adult services that can include:
- Hearing Evaluations
- Hearing Aids
- Auditory Processing Evaluations
- Custom Hearing Protection
- Specialty Ear Molds
- Support and Community Services
- Hearing Assistive Technology
- Tinnitus Assessment and Treatment
- Audiologic Treatment
