Scholarship Program

A deep belief in education for women brought our ten Founders together in 1872. Today, the legacy of that belief lives on through the Foundation's support of teaching and learning.

The Foundation supports women in all stages of their education, awarding nearly $150,000 in scholarships to nearly 75 undergraduate and graduate members each year. Recipients are selected by the Foundation Scholarship Committee on the basis of the applicant’s scholastic record, service to Alpha Phi and the community, campus involvement and recommendations. Alpha Phi Foundation scholarships are made possible by our generous donors and are available to all initiated members, collegian and alumnae, in good standing with Alpha Phi Fraternity.  

The deadline for application is April 16 this year, and scholarships are awarded each August for use in the upcoming academic year.

Over the years, endowed scholarships have been created in member’s names. Collegiate chapters have also established endowed scholarships to commemorate their 50^th, 75^th and 100^th anniversaries and other significant milestones. The Foundation grants other scholarships from its own resources. Scholarships are also available to Alpha Phi women who need additional training for certification, career advancement or a return to the workforce.
