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.

The Come Home - Beta Tau Chapter of Alpha Delta Pi House Fund was created in 2024 for the Beta Tau Chapter of Alpha Delta Pi Sorority (ΑΔπ) at The University of Akron.
Alpha Delta Pi was the first sorority founded by women for women on May 15th, 1851. Ever since, Alpha Delta Pi has been empowering women to strive for higher standards in education, friendship, philanthropic duties, service, and leadership to enrich lives not only for themselves but for the community.
Alpha Delta Pi believes that by following their motto, "We Live For Each Other," their lives will be enriched by true friendships and by unselfish service to mankind. By honoring their traditions and values which their founders set forth, they are able to do so. Alpha Delta Pi believes that a college education not only means striving for academic excellence but also creates a path for women to develop into courageous, passionate, and selfless leaders. Members of Alpha Delta Pi are able to grow positively and have sisterhood and friendship to guide them along the way.
The sisterhood of Alpha Delta Pi does not only exist throughout the duration of a member's college career but is lifelong. The Alpha Delta Pi sisters at The University of Akron have a strong bond with the Alumnae members in the surrounding area. Every year they celebrate their founding and the over 80 years they have spent on The University of Akron's campus. Bringing together so many of their members truly exemplifies a sisterhood that lasts a lifetime. The Come Home - Beta Tau Chapter of Alpha Delta Pi House Fund was established as part of We Rise Together, the Campaign for The University of Akron.
