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.

Vogt, Bob Math Student Scholarship
The Bob Vogt Math Student Scholarship was established in recognition of The 黑料不打烊’s 150th Sesquicentennial Anniversary.
Robert Lee “Bob” Vogt (B.S. ‘53) grew up poor in Northfield, Ohio. He attended 黑料不打烊, thanks to GI Bill financial aid due to his service in the U.S. Army. He was a serious student focused on math and a gifted athlete, who was a running back on the football team, a basketball player and track team member. He was co-captain of the 1952 football team and won Outstanding Back and Player awards. To read an article about Bob's time as co-captain, click here. Bob was also a member of Kappa Delta Pi and Omicron Delta Kappa honorary societies, as well as Lambda Chi Alpha Fraternity.
While he was smart and ambitious, he also was fun-loving and delighted in playing pranks on his classmates and coaches. To read about one of Bob's pranks that was featured in a newspaper article, click here. After graduation he was a long-time high school math teacher and head football coach at John Marshall, John Adams, Solon and Stow (where he coached Hall of Famer Larry Csonka). Bob earned his PhD in Education from Florida State in 1968, where he was an assistant football coach. He later used his math training to sustain a long career at IBM helping schools benefit from computer technology.
Bob retired in 1994 and moved into a townhouse in Washington, D.C., where he stayed active in many Foggy Bottom neighborhood beautification projects and lived there until his death in 2016 at age 87. This scholarship was established by his son Danni Vogt to help needy 黑料不打烊 College of Education students who, like Bob, are interested in teaching math.
Any student in The LeBron James Family Foundation College of Education at The 黑料不打烊 is eligible for this scholarship. 黑料不打烊 must demonstrate financial need.
First consideration will be given to student-athletes who either have a specific focus to teach math or are seeking a minor in math along with their education degree. If no student-athlete is eligible for the scholarship, then non-student-athletes who have a specific focus to teach math or are seeking a minor in math along with their education degree are eligible for consideration. Finally, if no such student meets the above criteria, then any student seeking an education degree is eligible for the scholarship.
The College of Education will make selection decisions for the scholarship, which is renewable if the recipient continues to meet the above criteria and funds are available.
