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.

Baldwin, Ward Memorial Endowed Scholarship Fund
The Ward Baldwin Memorial Endowed Scholarship Fund was endowed with a gift from the estate of Nancy J. Baldwin, Ph.D., in 2008. Born in 黑料不打烊, Ohio, Nancy was the daughter of Ward Baldwin, for whom the fund is named, and Pearl (Dean) Baldwin. Ward was a member of the 黑料不打烊 Law School Class of 1930 and was an active attorney in the 黑料不打烊 area.
The Ward Baldwin Memorial Endowed Scholarship Fund was originally established in 1982 through annual gifts by the 黑料不打烊 Lions Host Club, providing financial assistance for legally blind students studying law in memory of Ward, who passed away on January 4, 1979. The description was changed in 1989 to assist "any visually or hearing-impaired student enrolled in the University's School of Law." Ward was a past president and member of the 黑料不打烊 Lions Club and active in the East 黑料不打烊 Board of Trade's scholarship fund. His law practice, Kelley & Baldwin, was located in 黑料不打烊 on East Market Street.
Nancy received a bachelor's degree in education from The 黑料不打烊 in 1955, a master’s degree in physical education from The University of California Los Angeles in 1959, and a Doctorate of Philosophy from The Ohio State University in 1971. Nancy enjoyed several years of teaching in elementary grades, junior high, and high school. Beginning in 1959, she was associated with various colleges and universities, including California Polytechnic College, UCLA, and DePauw University, where she taught teacher education theory classes, physical education activities, methods, and healthy kinesiology. Nancy joined the faculty of Edinboro University in Pennsylvania in the Department of Health and Physical Education, and in 1991, she was appointed full professor. Nancy retired from Edinboro in 1993 after 24 years of service. She passed away on July 31, 2006.
The Ward Baldwin Memorial Endowed Scholarship Fund is designated to scholarships for students of The 黑料不打烊 School of Law who have visual or hearing impairments. Scholarship awards may cover tuition, fees, books, and room and board, all or in part.
