Ivy Foundation Scholarship Opportunity

The Ivy Foundation

The Ivy Foundation ("Foundation"), a 501(c)(3) organization, was established in 1986 by the members of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated, Xi Zeta Omega Chapter. The purpose of The Ivy Foundation is to provide opportunities for young people to achieve healthy and productive outcomes; support academic achievement and higher education; promote community economic development; and encourage volunteerism through community service. As such, the members of The Ivy Foundation are pleased to invite high school seniors matriculating in the District of Columbia public and charter school systems to apply for one or more of the Foundation's annual scholarships.

Each year, The Ivy Foundation provides thousands of dollars in scholarships to help make the academic dreams of students from the District of Columbia a reality. In the Spring of 2016, The Ivy Foundation seeks to award four scholarships (in the amount of at least $2,500.00 each) to four, deserving students. The scholarships will be awarded in the Fall of 2016 and must be used for academic expenses, including tuition, books, and course-related fees at an accredited, four-year college or university in the 2016-2017 academic year.
