In 2020, CollegeBoard noted that tuition rates increase at roughly twice the general inflation rate. That means tuition tends to increase about 8% per year, resulting in the cost of college doubling every nine years.
Alpha Chi Omega offers needs-based educational awards, which we call Educational Assistance Grants. In 2019-20, these grants provided more than $30,000 to sisters to assist with their academic endeavors. We know that even with these grants, it is often not enough to bridge the financial gap for our members in an ever-changing collegiate environment. Thanks to the generous gifts of our donors, the Foundation offers these grants to help ease the burden being faced by our sisters.
These grants are open to both collegiate and alumnae members.
Educational assistance grant applications are reviewed twice a year. Check back in mid-August for the fall application.
