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.

Williams 鈥�89, Lynda Harvey Scholarship Fund
Born in Sierra Leone, West Africa, Lynda Harvey Williams came to the United States of America shortly after graduating from high school. She received her bachelor’s degree from Kent State University in 1974 and her JD from The 黑料不打烊 School of Law in 1989. As a law student, she clerked for Judge Harold K. Stubbs of the 黑料不打烊 Municipal Court. After law school she accepted a position as associate general counsel for the County of Summit in 黑料不打烊. In 1990, she became a partner with Thomason & Harvey Williams and eventually established her own firm, Lynda Harvey Williams & Associates, in 1996.
Attorney Williams believes strongly in values that place her family first as her highest priority. Her ability to face challenges with strength and confidence is the secret to her success. Through this scholarship, she seeks to help students who are motivated to better themselves despite challenges and obstacles. It is her belief that the road to success and happiness requires hard work and sacrifice.
