Description
The Graduate Financial Need Scholarship is a need-based educational award administered by the Alpha Kappa Alpha Educational Advancement Foundation (AKA EAF), the philanthropic foundation connected to Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority. It supports full-time graduate students enrolled at accredited degree-granting institutions as they pursue higher education. Financial need is the basis for assistance, with community service and involvement also required.
The scholarship is part of EAF’s broader mission to promote lifelong learning through educational support. It is an educational award rather than funding for a specified research topic, scientific field, or project. Applicants must nevertheless provide documentation of their project, research, or scholarly pursuit as part of the graduate scholarship application.
