Over the years, a myriad of generous donors have directed their philanthropic efforts toward the Neff College of Business and Innovation. Many of the donations have been designated exclusively for scholarships for business students. As a result, the College proudly awards approximately $500,000 in scholarships annually to currently enrolled students for the coming academic year.
Criteria for the business scholarships vary greatly. For example, some scholarships are based on the student's major area of study while others are based on GPA, financial need, and/or rank. By completing one online application, students are automatically considered for all scholarships for which they meet the criteria.
Annually, the online scholarship is available between October through February 1st from a link that is available on this web page during that time frame. Scholarship applications are due each year on February 1st.

Sierah Joughin Memorial Scholarship
University of Toledo student, Sierah Joughin, was just 20 years old when she was taken from us in 2016 by a repeat, violent offender. This was a devastating loss to all who knew her, as well as to the University community as a whole. We want people to remember Sierah for all the good she was and for all the good that has come from her short, but well-lived life, not just her tragic death.
Sierah was about to begin her junior year at UToledo and was active on campus and involved in student organizations, including Alpha Kappa Psi. In her memory, The Sierah Joughin Memorial Fund was created to award scholarships to students enrolled in the M.B.A. program at the John B. and Lillian E. Neff College of Business and Innovation, with a preference for individuals who are members of Alpha Kappa Psi.
Sierah’s life was cut short, preventing her from the opportunity to fulfill all her academic and professional goals, but this scholarship ensures her legacy is carried on by enabling other hard-working students the opportunity to fulfill their academic and professional goals.
