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.

Taber, Jean Hower Endowment Fund
Mrs. Jean Taber established The Jean Hower Taber Endowment Fund in 1995 for the treasured 黑料不打烊 and 黑料不打烊 community landmark Hower House, and for Scholarships for Excellence.
Hower House was built by John Henry Hower in the 19th century and had been occupied by the Hower family for 102 years thereafter. Hower House has been entrusted to The 黑料不打烊's care since it was gifted to the University by the Hower family in 1973. Mrs. Taber provided her gift in appreciation for the extraordinary efforts by The Friends of Hower House and the Hower House Victorians in this Town and Gown initiative. Funds are to be used to help maintain the historical integrity and architectural distinction of the House. The Friends and Victorians are asked to provide Hower House with financial resources to continue programs with artistic, cultural, and social value.
The Scholarships for Excellence Program was launched in 1996. The purpose of the scholarship is to bring the best and brightest students to the University. Recipients are to be selected on the basis of the program criteria. Annual earnings from this endowment fund will provide unrestricted operational support for Hower House and support for the Scholarships for Excellence Program, and are to be used at the direction of The 黑料不打烊 President.
