The deadline to submit your application is April 1, 2026. To access the application, please visit MyODK. On the homepage, select “2026 Scholarships.” Only Active members will be able to view and utilize the application to apply for scholarships.
Scholarship and fellowship applications are reviewed, and recipients are selected based on a number of factors.
If you are considering applying for a scholarship, we encourage you to read Scholarship Review and Selection Committee Chair David A. Ellington’s letter here.
Omicron Delta Kappa will select recipients in June 2026 and notify all applicants of the decision. Scholarship funds are distributed directly to the graduate institution after July 1. Omicron Delta Kappa does require a certified letter of enrollment from graduate school advisor confirming enrollment. Additional details for acceptance will be sent directly to the recipients.
