the BRIDGE Scholarships Fund

Scholarships are a key component in The University of Akron’s drive toward student success. The Bridge Scholarships Fund was created in 2014 (and revised in 2017) to assist students in their pursuit of degrees from The University of Akron. The Bridge Scholarships Fund will provide scholarships for new and continuing students, helping to reduce some financial burden as they work toward completing a degree. Full- and part-time students from all colleges are eligible to receive an award.

The Bridge Scholarships Fund will receive gifts from University of Akron alumni, friends, faculty, staff, organizations, and foundations. The scholarship began making awards in the spring of 2015.
