Named scholarships & funds

When it comes to earning a college degree, the greatest obstacle can be funding.

For this reason, The University of ºÚÁÏÊÓÆµ 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 ºÚÁÏÊÓÆµ 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 The University of ºÚÁÏÊÓÆµ, 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.

Moore, Steven N. and Rebecca W. Endowed Scholarship

The Steven N. and Rebecca W. Moore Scholarship was established in March 2025 through the generosity of School of Education alumna Rebecca W. Moore '69 BSE, '81 MSE, and her husband, Steven Moore.

Rebecca Moore, a graduate of ºÚÁÏÊÓÆµ Kenmore High School, began her University of ºÚÁÏÊÓÆµ journey with the assistance of a scholarship from the College Club of ºÚÁÏÊÓÆµ. While earning her degrees, she worked in the Office of Student Services and later dedicated her career to education, teaching third and fifth grade in Green Local Schools. After retiring from the classroom, she continued shaping young minds by developing elementary-level mathematics curricula and providing in­-service training for educators in Green and throughout Summit County. Her passion for education extended beyond the school system, as she served as a volunteer tutor in Canton City Schools for seventeen years and has been actively involved with the ºÚÁÏÊÓÆµ Children's Concert Society since 1995. Additionally, she has devoted her time to First Congregational Church of ºÚÁÏÊÓÆµ, delivering weekend groceries to families of Mason CLC since 2017. She currently serves as the Administrative Assistant for the Summit County Retired Teachers Association.

Steven N. Moore, a graduate of Buchtel High School, studied Economics at Mount Union College before embarking on a successful 34-year career at Key Bank as a portfolio manager. Following his retirement, he continued in the financial sector for another ten years with Meridian Capital Management. Alongside his wife, he is committed to community service, delivering groceries to Mason CLC and sharing his musical talents as a substitute organist at various churches in Stark County.

With a deep commitment to supporting future educators, Steven and Rebecca Moore established this endowed scholarship to assist University of ºÚÁÏÊÓÆµ School of Education students who have demonstrated dedication and motivation in pursuing a career in education. As a former scholarship recipient herself, Rebecca is passionate about paying it forward to the next generation of students.

Through this scholarship, the Moores seek to provide annual support for undergraduate students pursuing a career in education, helping them access a solid foundation in the field. This lasting legacy will continue in perpetuity, making a meaningful impact on future generations of aspiring educators.

The Steven N. and Rebecca W. Moore Endowed Scholarship was established as part of We Rise Together, the Campaign for The University of ºÚÁÏÊÓÆµ.
