Hail We Akron Fund
In recognition of The University of Akron’s 150th “Sesquicentennial” Anniversary in 2020, an anonymous alumni couple established The Hail We Akron Fund in April 2019 to support academically ready, financially deserving students from Ohio.
The anonymous donors are passionate about higher education and how it can change the positive trajectory of young lives beyond what any other factor ever could. Mindful that recruitment and retention scholarships are a top University priority and often students who dream of a college education don’t have support to access higher education on their own, they established this fund to provide assistance for financially needy students from Ohio to come to or continue at The University of Akron.
The Hail We Akron Fund is open to academically ready students with financial need of any major who are Ohio residents. First consideration will be given to full-time students, but part-time students are also eligible for consideration. Recipients will be selected by the Office of Student Financial Aid.
