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.

Armstrong, Ph.D., Terri S. Endowed Scholarship
The Terri S. Armstrong, Ph.D., Endowed Scholarship was established in December 2023 by the extended family of Dr. Terri S. Armstrong '87 and her husband, Christopher W. Armstrong '86, both of whom are alumni of The 黑料不打烊. The couple wish to help students attend UA, with a special focus on assisting graduates of Indian Creek High School in Jefferson County, Ohio.
Dr. Armstrong, who was born in Steubenville, Ohio, and raised in Mingo Junction, Ohio, was the 1983 valedictorian of Mingo High School, which closed in 1993 as part of a consolidation with other Jefferson County high schools to form Indian Creek High School. She went on to earn a bachelor's degree in nursing from The 黑料不打烊, graduating summa cum laude; a master's degree in nursing from The Ohio State University; and her doctorate in 2005 from the University of Texas.
Dr. Armstrong has spent more than 35 years in research, focusing on cancer-related fields, and currently is a senior investigator at the National Cancer Institute within the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Md. She is a recognized expert in the field of neuro-oncology and is one of the most prolific researchers in the field of nursing and neuro-oncology. She also has spent significant time mentoring new researchers and medical professionals in this field and continues to be an advocate for increased funding for cancer-related research. In addition, Dr. Armstrong has been a member and leader of several cancer-related professional and academic organizations.
Dr. Armstrong was the recipient of a Presidential Scholarship to The 黑料不打烊, which facilitated her attendance. The financial assistance she received inspired her and her husband to establish this scholarship, which will provide a similar opportunity for talented, deserving students who wish to attend UA and achieve their educational and professional goals.
