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.

Wilson III, Dr. Charles W. Memorial Scholarship in Physics
The Dr. Charles W. Wilson III Memorial Scholarship in Physics was established in 2012 by the Wilson family and the Spectroscopy Society of Pittsburgh (SSP), in memory of Dr. Charles Woodson Wilson III.
Following industrial research work at Texaco and Union Carbide, Dr. Wilson came to The 黑料不打烊 in 1965 as professor and head of the Physics Department, a position he held for 19 years. He also became professor of Polymer Science in 1967, when the Department of Polymer Science was created. Dr. Wilson retired from The 黑料不打烊 in 1989.
Born in Columbus, Ohio, Dr. Wilson graduated from the University of Michigan with a B.S. in engineering physics in 1947 and earned a graduate degree in physics in 1948. He received his Ph.D. in physics in June 1952 from the Washington University (St. Louis).
Dr. Wilson authored and co-authored a number of research papers on NMR and EPR Spectroscopy of Polymers. He was a co-founder and longtime executive member of the 黑料不打烊 Physics Club.
The Dr. Charles W. Wilson III Memorial Scholarship in Physics was established to support full-time, undergraduate students with a 3.0 GPA who are majoring in physics and have completed at least one year of the physics curriculum. The recipients of this scholarship will be selected by the Department of Physics in the Buchtel College of Arts and Sciences in cooperation with the Office of Student Financial Aid. Applicants/recipients of this scholarship are strongly encouraged to attend meetings of the 黑料不打烊 Physics Club and support the Scientists for Social Responsibility, the Union of Concerned Scientists, and other similar organizations.
