Athletic Scholarships
Kent State is committed to success both on and off the playing field. Many student-athletes must attend summer school or a fifth year of college in order to complete their degree while meeting the demands of athletic training and competition.
Private funding is needed to provide scholarship incentives for talented student-athletes to enroll in summer school or a fifth-year studies.
Reasons to Support
- Helps student-athletes maintain necessary course loads, meet NCAA eligibility rules, and complete graduation requirements.
- Allows student-athletes to spread out required course work, improve grades and relieve time demands.
- Reinforces commitment to graduating outstanding student-athletes.
- Student-athletes can participate – throughout the summer – in sport-specific conditioning and skill development at university athletic facilities.
Gift Opportunities

- A contribution of $50,000 or $35,000 provides a partial-tuition scholarship to a deserving Kent State student each fall.
