Alpha Kappa Psi Scholarship
Scholarship Sponsored by Alpha Kappa Psi Scholarship Fund
About the Scholarship Fund
The Alpha Kappa Psi Scholarship Fund was created by alumni of the Alpha Eta chapter of the co‑ed business fraternity Alpha Kappa Psi. Since 1988 it has awarded more than $3.6 million in scholarships to over 400 students. The scholarships support incoming freshmen who have strong academics and demonstrated leadership and who plan to attend the Carlson School of Management at the University of Minnesota.
Who should apply (basic eligibility)
You should apply if you meet all of the following:
- You are an incoming freshman admitted to the Carlson School of Management at the University of Minnesota. If you have not received an admission decision by Feb. 25, 2024, contact Holly Anderson.
- You have a strong academic record.
- You can demonstrate leadership and/or active involvement in extracurricular activities.
- Note on finances: most scholarships take financial need into account. We request FAFSA information, but we evaluate need holistically — not just by one number. If you think you have no financial need, apply anyway: some awards are based purely on merit.
Application checklist (what to prepare)
Make sure your application includes all of the following items:
1. Personal information — full name, contact information, and a current applicant photo.
2. High school information — name of your high school and academic transcripts covering at least the past two academic years.
3. Test scores (optional) — ACT score report if available. If you did not take the ACT, an SAT report is acceptable.
4. Family financial information — FAFSA documentation, an explanation of how you plan to pay for college, and any extenuating financial circumstances you want the committee to consider.
5. Extracurricular involvement — a clear list of activities, volunteer work, jobs, and leadership positions, with dates and brief descriptions of your role.
6. Short answers — two short responses, up to 250 words each. Proofread carefully for grammar, clarity, and spelling.
7. Resume — a current resume summarizing academics, activities, work, and honors.
A few final notes (read carefully)
- You do not need to join Alpha Kappa Psi to be eligible. Membership does not give applicants preferential treatment.
- Follow directions and proofread everything. Clear, well‑organized materials make a strong impression.
- If you have questions about admission timing (for example, if you haven’t received an admission decision by Feb. 25, 2024), contact Holly Anderson for guidance.
If you’d like, I can help you tighten your short answers or review your resume before you submit.
