Thanks to contributions from Zeta Tau Alpha alumnae chapters, collegiate chapters, members and friends, the Foundation awarded $616,000 to 350 graduate and undergraduates in the 2007-2008 and 2008-2009 school years. The Foundation's Scholarship Committee reviews applications and ranks them based on leadership in Zeta Tau Alpha, academic achievement (minimum GPA 2.75), active participation in chapter, campus and community activities, and financial need.

Founders Grants Nine grants at a minimum of $8,000 each are given annually to those pursuing a post-baccalaureate degree. These grants are funded through a combination of endowed monies and funds from the General Scholarship Fund.

Recognition Scholarships A scholarship minimum of $1,500, this award is established with $1,100 donated by the chapter or individuals funding it and $400 contributed from the Zeta Tau Alpha Foundation. These scholarships can be designated for specific chapters, provinces or areas.

Achievement Scholarships Given to both undergraduates and graduate students from annual contributions to the General Scholarship Fund.

Service Scholarships Available for those studying special education, social work or other health-related professions, the money for these scholarships comes from the Service Fund.

Endowed Scholarships Generally given in honor or in memory of a special Zeta, the interest generated by the specific fund each year is used to provide the scholarship. These scholarships vary in amount depending on the size of the endowment.

Also, our own Alpha Psi chapter sponsors the Nancy Monteer Recognition Scholarship and the Shannon Ferguson Recognition Scholarship which are awarded to outstanding members of our chapter!
