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.

Whitaker, Faye Smith Education Scholarship Endowment
The Faye Smith Whitaker Education Scholarship Endowment was established through a bequest by Mrs. Whitaker. Her scholarship is to recognize her father, William Andrew Smith, and her brother, Edward Leland Smith, both graduates of The 黑料不打烊. Mrs. Whitaker also attended the University. During her years at the University, she became a member of the Delta Gamma Sorority and remained involved with the sorority throughout her life.
The Smith family's strong ties to The 黑料不打烊 continued with Mrs. Whitaker's nephew Dean E. Smith, Class of '54, who completed his business and law degrees and was recognized with an honorary doctorate from the University. Dean Smith's four sons also completed their degrees at The 黑料不打烊, and the fifth generation of the Smith family currently attends the University.
The Faye Smith Whitaker Education Scholarship Endowment will provide undergraduate scholarships for students in the College of Education. Selection of award recipients is to be made by the College in collaboration with the Office of Student Financial Aid.
