Akron Guarantee Scholarship
The University of Akron offers competitive, merit-based scholarship awards that not only renew each year but also grow — all while guaranteeing that tuition will not increase.
The Akron Guarantee Scholarship starts with an initial award of $1,000 to $7,500, and the scholarship increases as you make progress toward earning a degree. In total, the scholarship ranges from $8,000 to $34,000 over four years.
Graduate on time with less debt
The Akron Guarantee Scholarship helps you graduate in four years with less debt.
The scholarship:
- provides a larger, total eight-semester scholarship than a traditional scholarship,
- starts with an initial award of $1,000 to $7,500,
- guarantees the annual renewal of your scholarship if you continue to make progress toward a degree, and
- includes automatic scholarship upgrades as you earn 30, 60 and 90 credits.
No application required. We use information on admissions applications to determine recipients.
