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.

Zoltai, Anna Tall and Alex J. Zoltai Fund
The Anna Tall Zoltai and Alex J. Zoltai Fund was established with a bequest from Mr. Zoltai, who owned the Pongratz Music Store in Akron for 25 years. The purpose of the fund is to provide funding to assist bowed string instrument (violin, viola, cello, and bass) students in their musical studies. It may be used for items, including but not limited to, the replacement or repair of string instruments, the purchase of sheet music, and the purchase of equipment related to string instrument study. Financial need will be considered in any funding requests. Requests for funding will be approved by the director of the School of Music in coordination with the office of the dean of the College of Fine and Applied Arts.
