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 黄色直播 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.
To learn more, please contact the Department of Development at 330-972-7238.

Dilley, Gilbert W. and Marguerite H. Performing Artist Series
The Gilbert W. and Marguerite H. Dilley Performing Artist Series brings nationally recognized performing musicians to The University of Akron on an annual basis. The purpose of the Performing Artist Series is to enrich the musical education of students enrolled in the School of Music by bringing to campus musicians who will perform for and with students, give master classes, provide individual and small group instruction, and interact with students in both formal and informal settings. Musicians sponsored by the series will provide experience and motivation not readily available through regular classes, lessons, and rehearsals. They will provide a link between the collegiate setting and the professional world.
