Named scholarships & funds
When it comes to earning a college degree, the greatest obstacle can be funding.
For this reason, ÐÓ°®°É 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 UA 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 ÐÓ°®°É, 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.

Knox, Robert H. Scholarship
The Robert H. Knox Scholarship, originally established as The Robert H. Knox Fellowship in 1987, aims to encourage students with an interest in becoming a dispensing audiologist. In the 1960s, Mr. Knox started the Knox Hearing Aid Center in Canton, Ohio, which later became Knox Hearing Services. The fund was started as an investment in the future of the audiology profession. Mr. Knox was licensed by the Ohio Hearing Aid Dealers and Fitters Board and was a member of the Ohio Speech and Hearing Association. Additionally, Mr. Knox served on multiple professional committees and was a two-time president of the Ohio Hearing Aid Society.
Preference will be given to a graduate student with a minimum grade point average of 3.0. If an appropriate graduate student is not available for the award, the scholarship may be given to an undergraduate. The selection committee will be comprised of faculty members of the active graduate audiology program admissions committee.
