Carlson Adelphe Scholarship 2027 - $3,000
The Gladys Ross Carlson Adelphe Scholarship Fund from the Kappa Kappa Gamma Foundation awards about $3,000 to help members finish their degrees.

All majors may qualify when your chapter and record match fund criteria. Expect a mid-November 2026 opening and a February 3, 2027 deadline on CareerOneStop-style catalogs, with Kappa''s national cycle closing in early February at 5 p.m. Eastern.

Seniors complete the unified RCSF application distributed through district Gmail with essay, activity sheets, community service summary, and counselor-signed transcript. CareerOneStop and historical RCSF packets listed a February 20 deadline before the district moved to an online portal, so confirm the live date with your RISE coordinator each year.
FLAS Academic Year Fellowship 2027 - Title VI
Foreign Language and Area Studies (FLAS) academic year fellowships are federal Title VI awards that help US citizens and permanent residents pay for intensive modern language study combined with area or international studies at a US college that holds a Department of Education FLAS allocation. For the 2025-2026 grant cycle, published caps are $18,000 toward tuition and fees plus a $20,000 stipend for graduate fellows ($38,000 total) and $10,000 tuition plus a $5,000 stipend for undergraduates ($15,000 total). You never apply to the Department of Education directly; each National Resource Center or FLAS-granting program runs its own competition, usually in late winter or spring for the following academic year. Deadlines and language lists differ by campus, so Columbia''s Weatherhead East Asian Institute is one example among dozens nationwide.
Falcon Achievement Scholarship 2027 - $1,000 PFA
The Falcon Achievement Scholarship from Polish Falcons of America awards $1,000 to Benefit Members who are graduating high school seniors or enrolled undergraduates planning full-time study at an accredited two- or four-year college, university, or trade school.

Submit the online PFA application with essay, community service summary, photo, official transcript, counselor recommendation, and net information materials by February 1.

Like other chapter Project 2000 funds, it is assigned from the same Foundation merit-based or need-based application on kappakappagamma.org rather than a separate form. CareerOneStop lists full-time undergraduate Gamma Pi members, with selection based on academic merit, financial need, and leadership in Kappa and the community.

The Gamma Chi Project 2000 Scholarship from the Kappa Kappa Gamma Foundation pays about $3,000 to full-time undergraduate members of Gamma Chi at George Washington University in Washington, D.C.
