Ivy Endowment, Inc.

Throughout the history of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated, one of its national programs has always focused on awarding scholarships, providing financial assistance and offering moral support to young women who wish to attend a college or university. The awardees must demonstrate a commitment to using their acquired knowledge and education to be of service to their race and to all mankind.
