Alpha Kappa Psi Scholarship Fund
The Scholarship Fund was founded by several alumni of the Alpha Eta chapter of the co-ed business fraternity Alpha Kappa Psi. Since 1988, the Scholarship Fund has awarded over $2,500,000 in scholarships to 350 recipients. For the 2021/22 academic year, we awarded over $250,000 to 11 incoming freshmen and 28 upperclassmen. The Alpha Kappa Psi Scholarship Fund awards scholarships to incoming freshmen who have strong academic records and leadership experience and will attend the Carlson School of Management at the University of Minnesota. Information on how to apply as a high school senior is listed below.

Note: financial need will be taken into account for almost all of our scholarships. We request FAFSA information but judge a student's need by looking with a full picture viewpoint than just the numbers reflected in the FAFSA. If you have questions about how your financial need would be evaluated (as we look at it differently than the University and government do), questions may be directed to Laura Murphy, Executive Director at lmurphyakpsi@gmail.com or 617-515-5012 (text or call). If you feel you do not have any financial need - you might! Please do apply as some awards are awarded based only on merit.

A) Personal Information: Name, contact info, applicant photo, etc.
B) High School Information: High School and any additional academic transcripts for at least the past two academic years.

F) Short Answers: Utilize up to 250 words each to reply to 2 short answer questions.
