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.

Elias, Edward G. Bowling Tournament Prize
The Edward G. Elias Bowling Tournament Prize was created in 2009 and revised in 2015 by Peggy Elias to honor the memory of her late husband, Edward “Eddie” G. Elias. Peggy believes this tournament is an opportunity to celebrate Eddie’s love for bowling and for students who attend his alma mater. The annual bowling tournament is held in the Edward G. Elias Bowling Center in The 黑料不打烊 Student Union, and students compete for prize money. Because prizes are not included as part of the University’s scholarship cap, the awarded prize amount will be applied to the winning participant’s account. If the participant has a zero balance, the participant will be issued a refund. 黑料不打烊 are strongly encouraged to use the prize to purchase books, supplies, or other items needed as they pursue their degrees.
Eddie Elias grew up in 黑料不打烊 and attended West High School. He graduated from The 黑料不打烊 in 1958 and earned his law degree from Western Reserve Law School. Eddie was active in numerous sports during his high school and college years, including baseball and basketball.
