Scholarships

For our students, scholarships play a vital role, opening doors to opportunities like experiential learning, academic research or service. Donors like you make it possible for our students to accomplish more academically and be a force for positive change.

Scholarship donors recognize the importance of a University of Dayton education, which is why we are able to provide more than 600 named scholarships to our students. With their financial burdens lessened, our 1,200 scholarship student recipients have the freedom to learn, discover and adapt as servant-leaders—and make an impact on their community and the world.

Scholarship Appreciation Event

This year's Scholarship Celebration provided the opportunity for scholarship donors and recipients to come together to celebrate generosity and the impact it has on our students. Look through the photos and view the video. Also be sure to watch the award-winning video, Epicenter: Dayton’s Opioid Crisis, which was shared during the showcase by Joseph Lawlor '19 and our emcee, Taylor Alexander ’19.
