Eligibility

Kathleen Markey and Kenneth Niejadlik, MD Scholarship, with an application deadline in March, offers numerous awards of $2500 each.

Description

The Kathleen Markey and Kenneth Niejadlik, MD Scholarship shall be awarded to (1) collegian or alumnae members of the Chi-Syracuse, Beta Iota-Colorado, or Zeta Chi-Johns Hopkins Chapters (listed in order of preference) of Kappa Alpha Theta who will pursue undergraduate or graduate study during the academic year for which the scholarship is awarded. (2) Should no applicants meet the first criteria, the scholarship shall be held and added to the next year's award. (3) In the event Chi, Beta Iota, or Zeta Chi is disestablished and ceases to exist, unless and until the chapter is reestablished, the scholarship shall be awarded according to the first and second criteria (in order of preference). (4) In the event Chi, Beta Iota, and Zeta Chi are all disestablished, the scholarship shall be awarded to a collegian or alumna member with a permanent address in the states of New York, Wyoming, Colorado, New Jersey, or Florida (listed in order of preference) who is qualified under the Foundation's then current general scholarship criteria. Should no member with a permanent address in those states qualify, the scholarship shall be awarded to any collegian or alumna member of the Fraternity who is qualified under the Foundation's then current general scholarship criteria. Applicants must provide the contact information of their reference, who should be their current or former supervisor or mentor in an academic, community, professional, and/or Theta-related capacity. Ideally, the reference should be able to compellingly speak to the applicant's commitment to Kappa Alpha Theta's values; able to clearly articulate specific details about the applicant's accomplishments, goals, and character; and be more than just the applicant's social contact. Please visit the scholarship's website or contact the Kappa Alpha Theta Foundation for more information.
