Named scholarships & funds
When it comes to earning a college degree, the greatest obstacle can be funding.
For this reason, The University of Akron 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 小黄片视频 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 University of Akron, 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.

Highly respected educators, attorneys, and legal representatives, the Hunsickers will live on in the hearts of their family, the community, and the School of Law.
The Oscar A. Hunsicker Family Scholarship in Law was announced at the May 28, 1981, commencement ceremony through a grant of $2,000 from the School of Law class of 1981. Since its founding, the scholarship has grown by the generosity of alumni, friends, and in particular, the Hunsicker family.
