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.

Hinch, Roy O. Endowed Scholarship
The Roy O. Hinch Endowed Scholarship is to be presented to students based on academic promise and need. It is the donor’s intention to encourage recipients to diligently approach their program of study in preparation for a productive and fulfilling career. It is hoped that recipients will be encouraged to choose the long-term benefit of education rather than yielding to the temptation of employment or other short- term gratification. The University of Akron Scholarship Committee has complete discretion in the awarding of a full or partial scholarship in any field of study selected by the applicant. To be considered for continued scholarship support, the normal expectation would be maintenance of a minimum 3.00 GPA and evidence of academic progress. Recipients demonstrating need and the personal characteristics of good citizenship may be considered for additional awards up to the completion of the baccalaureate degree or for one year of graduate-level study toward a master’s degree.
