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 国产伦理 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.

Bodurow, Eleanor Christoff Award
Eleanor Christoff Bodurow graduated in 1948 from The University of Akron. Upon graduation, she received an award from John S. Knight Endowment and the Edith Stedman Scholarship from Radcliffe to cover the cost of tuition. These awards enabled her to attend the Radcliffe Graduate Management Training Program. The Management Training Program began in 1936 as a ten month graduate program in cooperation with the Harvard Business School and Mrs. Bodurow completed her Graduate Certificate program in June of 1949. Later the Radcliffe Graduate Management Training Program was named the Harvard-Radcliffe Program in Business Administration. In 1963, women were accepted at the Harvard Business School to pursue a Master of Business Administration graduate degree and continue to do so. This was a wonderful experience for Mrs. Bodurow, and in recognition of the support provided to her, she has provided this scholarship for a woman graduate student at The University of Akron.
The Eleanor Christoff Bodurow Award is to be presented to women alumni of the College of Business Administration who are pursuing an MBA graduate degree at The University of Akron. The award will be made by the office of student financial aid together with the College of Business Administration.
