Scholarships

Every year, Omicron Delta Kappa awards scholarships to more than 35 collegiate members to continue their education through graduate and professional study. These scholarships are intended to further the education of those members who have demonstrated success and leadership in scholarship, athletics, service, communications, and/or the arts, consistent with O∆K’s fundamental pillars: scholarship, service, integrity, character, and fellowship. We are also looking for those individuals who will use the skills acquired during their collegiate experience to make meaningful contributions to improve their communities and community members into the future.

The scholarship recipients are chosen by the Scholarship Review and Selection Committee, whose members are of diverse backgrounds. The committee reviews scholarship applications and selects recipients based on a number of factors designed to assist the committee in advancing the stated objectives.

Scholarship awards range from $1,000 to $3,500. Collegiate members and alumni up to five years out of undergraduate school are eligible to apply.

How to Apply

The application process opened on December 1, 2020. Click here to apply.
