The Alpha Kappa Alpha Educational Advancement Foundation (EAF) is a not-for-profit, tax-exempt organization, created to fill a void in education funding. Its mission is to provide financial support to individuals and organizations engaged in lifelong learning. At the heart of EAF’s commitment is the idea that academic excellence comes in many forms.

Scholarships are one-time awards based on merit or need, available to sophomore and beyond full-time students earning degrees at accredited institutions.

Fellowships are awarded to individuals and organizations working on projects or research to improve quality of life for others. They do not require enrollment in an academic institution.

There are several awards available for students at different points in their academic careers, undergraduate and graduate, some take financial need into consideration and others do not.
