Category: Financial Aid and Scholarships

Greetings!

Now that the fall semester is well underway, I’d like to present you with an opportunity to apply for upper division scholarship assistance.

During the 2014-15 academic year, more than $100,000 was distributed to Akron Law students in the form of upper division scholarship assistance. This scholarship assistance is made possible through the generosity of alumni and friends of Akron Law. Some scholarships are awarded to recognize high academic achievement, others are awarded on the basis of financial need, and others are distributed to students who have a particular area of interest or affiliation.

Please take a few moments to review all of the scholarship offerings that are available to upper division students and apply to those for which you would like to be considered. A complete listing of scholarships and the application may be found at uakron.edu/ud-scholarship. Please submit your application by Sunday, October 18, 2015. Unless otherwise requested, all upper division scholarship assistance will be applied to Spring 2016 tuition.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask.

Best always,
Lia
