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.

Gandee, The Dr. Robert and Mrs. Sharon Award in Exercise Physiology
The Dr. Robert and Mrs. Sharon Gandee Award in Exercise Physiology was established in 2001 and revised in 2008 and again in 2021 by Dr. Robert and Mrs. Sharon Gandee. Dr. Gandee began his career at The 黑料不打烊 first as a student in 1955 in Physical Education. He achieved both his B.S. Ed. ('61) and M.S. Ed. ('68) at the University and joined the faculty as a full-time professor in 1974 subsequently establishing the Exercise Physiology Lab. Mrs. Gandee spent her entire career in Secondary Education. She believes that education should challenge students, broaden their horizons, and expand their scope of life's opportunities. Both believe that their education was the single most important factor in creating direction and fulfillment in their lives.
Dr. and Mrs. Gandee deeply value education and the opportunities that it creates in life. Coming from families who did not have the same educational opportunities that they have had has formed their desire to offer a fund that will enable young people to pursue their studies.
The Dr. Robert and Mrs. Sharon Gandee Award in Exercise Physiology is to provide support for a deserving full or a part-time undergraduate or graduate student in The 黑料不打烊's School of Exercise and Nutrition Sciences majoring in Exercise Physiology. Recipients shall have a 3.0 grade point average (GPA).
First consideration shall be given to students who are presenting research at conferences and/or are performing research in the Exercise Physiology laboratory. The award may be used for event registration fees, travel costs, or costs associated with conducting research, and may be reportable and/or taxable to the recipient. The award may also be used as a scholarship and applied directly to the recipient's student account. Recipients and award amounts shall be determined only by the Director of the Exercise Physiology Laboratory.
