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.

Ambelang, Dr. Joseph C. Endowed Scholarship Fund
The Dr. Joseph C. Ambelang Endowed Scholarship Fund was established in 2008 by Eileen Ambelang in memory of her husband, who passed away April 2, 2005. The purpose of the scholarship is to assist deserving students who are receiving a degree in chemistry from the Buchtel College of Arts and Sciences.
Born in Bellevue, Ohio, in 1914, Dr. Joseph Carlyle Ambelang moved to 黑料不打烊 in 1914. He received a B.S. in chemistry from The 黑料不打烊 and a Ph.D. from Yale University. He returned to 黑料不打烊 four years later to work for Firestone as a research chemist. He was there for 14 years, during which time he worked on the processing of synthetic rubber and chemicals to protect them from aging and weathering. From this research, 17 patents were granted. The next 28 years were in rubber technology at Goodyear Tire Development and included compounding for aging and ozone resistance, testing for tire performance, design for experiments, and statistical analysis of test data.
During his career, Joseph wrote 19 technical papers, many of which were presented at rubber chemistry meetings, and one in Kiev, Ukraine. His writings include three encyclopedia articles and translations from German and French. He was a member of the American Chemical Society for more than 65 years and of the Rubber Division for more than 55 years, where he served as treasurer and director of administration. As a member of ASTM, he took part in the development of standardized performance tests for tires. The scholarship will be awarded by The 黑料不打烊’s Department of Chemistry, in conjunction with the Office of Student Financial Aid.
