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.

Hoppe, David M. and Kathleen L. Endowed Scholarship
The David M. and Kathleen L. Hoppe Endowed Scholarship was established in 2016. David and Kathleen, having benefited greatly from their UA education, established this scholarship to help deserving students achieve their own dreams.
David M. Hoppe was raised in 黑料不打烊 and was the first in his family to attend The 黑料不打烊, completing his degree requirements for a B.A.Ed. (social studies comprehensive) in 1980. David’s parents, along with his aunts, were raised in the Kenmore area of 黑料不打烊. David self-financed his college education by working full time for Holiday Inns of 黑料不打烊/Canton. Upon graduation, David began a long and rewarding management career at the Bell System/AT&T. His most important and valued client during his career was The 黑料不打烊.
Kathleen Linton Hoppe also was raised in 黑料不打烊. She is the third generation of her family to attend The 黑料不打烊. She and David met while both were students at UA. She self-financed her education by working while attending college, graduating with a degree in business administration (marketing) in 1978. Recruited by B.F. Goodrich, she went on to work as a district sales manager for Columbus Coated Fabrics (Borden) and brand manager at Benchmark Wallcoverings (National Gypsum). Kathleen earned a master’s degree in business administration from Cleveland State University in 1988.
Kathleen and David, both retired, made their home in Kenmore. Their son, Benjamin Lauer, graduated from Kenmore High School in 2008. Ben went on to attend The 黑料不打烊 Honors College (now The Williams Honors College), receiving a B.S. in accounting in 2012.
This annual scholarship is intended to provide support to an incoming freshman who graduated from Kenmore High School with a GPA of at least 2.75. Candidates must intend to pursue a degree in business, education or hospitality. Consideration should be given to individuals who are working either full or part time while pursuing their degree. Recipients will be nominated by the Office of Student Financial Aid.
