Program Overview
The Alpha Rho Scholarship Program was
started in 2001 with the objective of encouraging and rewarding academic
performance at the Alpha Rho Chapter of Kappa Alpha Order located on the campus
of West Virginia University in Morgantown, West Virginia.
Since inception, the scholarship
program has awarded academic scholarships every year. Starting with a single
scholarship offering, the program now offers four unique scholarships ranging in
value from $500 to $1,000. Each scholarship focuses on different aspects of
academics, leadership, civic involvement, chapter involvement, and personal
growth. We believe these traits reflect the primary values of the Alpha Rho
Chapter and encourage each active member to strive to achieve them.
The program is administered by Alpha
Rho Alumni Corporation, recognized as a 501 (c) (3) corporation by the Internal
Revenue Service. All direct donations are considered charitable and may be tax
deductible depending on your specific tax situation. The program is overseen by
a board of directors that are comprised of Kappa Alpha Order Alumni from various
universities in the US.
The scholarships are funded by the
generous alumni of Alpha Rho through direct contributions, corporate matching
programs, and yearly fund raising events.
