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.

Lampasone, John C., Class of 1939, Scholarship Fund
When John Lampasone was about to graduate from The ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ, there were few positions available for students with physical disabilities. John had been an exceptional student and then-University president Hezzelton E. Simmons took it upon himself to call on the president of Ohio Edison and intervene on John’s behalf. John was hired, and his exemplary professional accomplishments led to Ohio Edison becoming one of the most active employers of individuals with special disabilities.
The John C. Lampasone, Class of 1939, Scholarship Fund was established with a gift from the estate of Mr. John C. Lampsone, class of 1939. Mr. Lampasone wished to offer his financial assistance for students with special disabilities. His life and career have been spent in assisting people in the ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ community. The John C. Lampasone, Class of 1939, Scholarship Fund will perpetuate this lifelong commitment.
