Undergraduate COVID-19 Relief Fund
Dear Undergraduate Members of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc.
In this time of uncertainty and anxious anticipation of future events, it is important to maintain a sense of emotional and fiscal stability. The situation we face today, though caused by different factors, is very similar to the environment that the Founders of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc. faced during the organization’s inception. Then, as today, there was a need to coalesce and rely on each other for fellowship, guidance, and support.
The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted our society in ways we never imagined and temporarily, we pray, altered the course of the career development of our undergraduate members. No one saw this coming and now we must respond in ways that minimize the potential harm to the undergraduate members in need. Your Foundation wants to do its part.
Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc., the Senior Kappa Affairs Endowment Fund, the National Silhouettes, and the Kappa Alpha Psi Foundation have joined resources to create the Undergraduate COVID-19 Relief Fund. The Fund’s purpose is to assist undergraduate members of Kappa Alpha Psi who truly need financial assistance to get them through this turbulent time. The grant awards will be based on need.
We encourage you to seek a grant. These funds are limited, so we ask that you honestly assess your financial situation before you apply. If you have the wherewithal to sustain you, please allow members whose needs are critical to access this Fund. We are seeking additional contributions from Alumni members to bolster this account and we are confident we can soon offer grants to more undergraduate members than originally anticipated.
Undergraduate members, we are here to help you every way feasible and, with God’s grace and mercy, we will get through this.
The purpose of the Undergraduate COVID-19 Relief Fund is to offset some of the financial hardship due to the unprecedented impact of COVID-19. This includes, but is not limited to, housing, job loss, food insecurity, parent job loss, medical, or student loans. Applications for this scholarship must be completed in its entirety using the appropriate form. The application must be submitted to the International Headquarters through the online submittal portal by the deadline. Applications containing information that is determined to be false or inaccurate and/or incomplete will not be considered.
