What is the Dallas Alumnae Gamma Phi Chapter Scholarship?

Gamma Phi has been part of Southern Methodist University since 1928, and Dallas alumnae have stayed involved through advisory boards, philanthropy, and scholarship dollars that keep members focused on finishing their degrees. The Dallas Alumnae Association Gamma Phi Chapter Scholarship gives full-time undergraduates a shot at $3,000 toward the next academic year without adding another custom form. You tell your story once through the Kappa Foundation portal, and reviewers decide whether your file fits this named fund.

Dallas is more than a city name on the award title. The local alumnae association still supports the SMU chapter with mentoring and house projects, and chapter news has listed this scholarship alongside other Gamma Phi funds such as the Wendy Weber and Nancy Moses awards. Treat the essay and reference sections seriously. Chapter officers and professors should be able to speak to how you lead inside Gamma Phi and show up for the Dallas community.

February 3 appears on CareerOneStop, while Kappa''s national guide often closes a few days later at 5 p.m. Eastern. Build your calendar around the PDF, not a blog repost. For other chapter-specific Kappa funds, see the Beta Zeta Emily Wagner Scholarship 2027 guide.
