Scholarships and Fellowships: Aim for More

2025 Scholarship Recipients

In an increasingly competitive employment market, many individuals find that they have an edge once they have earned a graduate or professional degree. Post-baccalaureate education conveys to employers that an individual is persistent and has a real interest in a discipline or career field.

Every year, Omicron Delta Kappa awards scholarships and fellowships to over 40 collegiate members to continue their education through graduate and professional study. 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.

Here are some basic details about O∆K ‘s scholarship and fellowship program:

  • Students in the last year of an undergraduate program and individuals who have already completed an undergraduate degree are eligible to apply.
  • Scholarships are only available for graduate or professional study (dual degree students are also eligible).
  • Scholarships range from $1,000 – $10,000.
  • Applications will open on February 1, 2026, and close on April 1, 2026.
