Description
The Graduate Financial Need scholarship is offered by the Alpha Kappa Alpha Educational Advancement Foundation (EAF), the philanthropic arm of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority. It provides direct, need-based assistance to graduate students pursuing higher education, supporting the foundation’s mission of lifelong learning. The scholarship focuses on educational support rather than funding a specified research topic, academic discipline, or project outcome.
This award is part of EAF’s general scholarship program, which provides one-time assistance based on merit or financial need. Graduate Financial Need applicants must meet academic and enrollment requirements, demonstrate community service and involvement, and submit a financial need analysis. International students are included, and eligibility is not limited to sorority members or their dependents.
