Named scholarships & funds
When it comes to earning a college degree, the greatest obstacle can be funding.
For this reason, The ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ 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 ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ, 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.

Williams, T. Henry Memorial Scholarship Fund
The T. Henry Williams Memorial Scholarship Fund was established in 1999 by a gift from Fredrick J. and Dorothy Williams Culver. This scholarship in the College of Engineering honors Dorothy’s father, T. Henry Williams. Mr. Williams was a licensed engineer for McNeil Machine and Engineering, where he helped develop a modern tire press called the “bag-o-matic,” which mechanically releases tires from their molds. The invention improved the safety and efficiency of tire production, and the press is still used around the world today. Mr. Williams also assisted Dr. Bob Smith in the establishment of Alcoholics Anonymous in ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ, which later became a national and international organization. As a favor to Mrs. Henretta Seiberling, Mr. Williams opened his home on Palisades Drive for the Alcoholic Anonymous group meetings.
