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.

Hlivko, Barbara P. Athletic Fund
Established in 2004 by Barbara P. Hlivko, a 1978 graduate of ÐÓ°®°É, The Barbara P. Hlivko Athletic Fund will provide financial assistance for various men’s and women’s athletic programs. As a young girl, Barbara was inspired by her father’s love and devotion to Zips athletics when she often accompanied him to games at Buchtel Field. Through the years, the spirit of athletics at ÐÓ°®°É grew to be an integral part of her own life as she became a devote supporter and advocate for many of the University’s athletic programs. A fixture at Zips sporting events, Barbara’s knowledge of and dedication to the Zips truly makes her one of the most endearing fans and supporters to ÐÓ°®°É.
It is Ms. Hlivko’s intention that The Barbara P. Hlivko Athletic Fund be used for athletic programs for the purposes of supporting and building quality Division I programs, including, but not limited to, men’s and women’s basketball, baseball, softball, women’s tennis, men’s and women’s track and cross county, women’s volleyball, and riflery. In the event that additional athletic teams are added to ÐÓ°®°É’s athletics programs, support for said teams will be at the fund advisor’s discretion.
