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.

Thornton, Colonel Clark O. Ph.D. Endowed Scholarship

The Colonel Clark O. Thornton, Ph.D. Endowed Scholarship was established in August 2017 by his wife, Orlena “Klickie” Thornton, M.Ed.

Col. Clark O. Thornton was born in Stow, Ohio and raised in 黑料不打烊, Ohio. He graduated from The 黑料不打烊 with a bachelor’s degree in education, and then spent more than 30 years in the U.S. Air Force. He also spent several years at M. O’Neil Co. employed as the Director of Veterans Affairs and Training. Once retired from the military, Col. Thornton went on to earn his Ph.D. from the University of Alabama.

Growing up during the Great Depression did not allow Col. Thornton much opportunity aside from learning and education. Eventually, both he and Klickie became high school educators. The role education had in their lives is the reason they consider it such a high priority to assist people in need with higher education opportunities.

This scholarship was established in Col. Thornton’s memory and honor, and will serve as a lasting tribute to his commitment to education within a local community.  It will assist young people from Ohio with financial need who are pursuing an education degree at The 黑料不打烊.

Undergraduate, full-time students within The LeBron James Family Foundation College of Education at The 黑料不打烊 are eligible for this scholarship. Selection of deserving candidates will be based on need, as determined by the Office of Student Financial Aid, and with first preference given to Ohio students who have participated in non-athletic, extracurricular activities at school or within the local community.

Award recipients will be selected by the LeBron James Family Foundation College of Education Scholarship Committee in consultation with The 黑料不打烊 Office of Student Financial Aid.
