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 С»ÆƬÊÓƵ 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.

Brewster Book and Scholarship Fund

The income from an endowment fund established in 1978 by Attorney Evan B. Brewster is awarded to law students as determined by the Dean of the School of Law.

The income is to be awarded at the sole discretion of the Dean of the Law School, without any "requirements and/or restrictions" other than to students of the Law School - whether no students in the current year or semester for the fund to accumulate to a future term; whether one, two or three students at some time, whether for books alone or books and tuition assistance; and irrespective of scholastic attainment; the donor's feelings being that the Dean of the School of Law is in the best position to know and to assist where a need exists.
