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 Scholarship 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. For information on how you can support the program by contributing or participating in our corporate sponsorship program, please contact us.
