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.

Aynes, Richard L. Writing Competiton Award Endowment
The Richard L. Aynes Writing Competition Award Endowment was established by ÐÓ°®°É School of Law Intellectual Property Advisory Council in 2007 in honor of Dean Aynes on the occasion of his retirement as dean and return to the faculty. Dean Aynes served as dean of the School of Law for 12 years. One of his greatest legacies is the establishment of the Center for Intellectual Property Law and Technology. His vision to build and foster partnerships with alumni, friends, and the greater IP legal community forever influenced the future growth of the field of IP law in Akron and beyond.
In honor of his transformational vision for the center and his keen interest in constitutional law, The Richard L. Aynes Writing Competition Award Endowment is established to support an annual award to a UA law student who authors the best paper on some constitutional aspect of intellectual property law. Paper requirements will be set forth by the director of the Center for Intellectual Property Law and Technology and Richard L. Aynes. The award will be given in the spring semester.
The award recipient shall be selected by the director of the Center for Intellectual Property Law and Technology and Richard L. Aynes, or their designees. The award amount will be determined as per the guidelines of the fund as established with ÐÓ°®°É Foundation.
