The Delta Kappa Gamma Beta Pi Scholarship
Delta Kappa Gamma Beta Pi has offered one, $1,000 scholarship to a deserving senior female pursuing a career in education . As of 2019, we have been able to offer TWO, $1,000 scholarships to deserving seniors at local high schools. Each student must meet the following criteria to be considered for the scholarship: must be accepted at a 2-4 year college, must be a senior female, and must be pursuing a degree in education. The applicant must then complete an application, must write an essay (the applicant must introduce herself and her family, cite involvement in school, community, and educational activities, discuss why education is her chosen major, and state her future goals in education), submit a letter of recommendation (from a former/present teacher or administrator), submit an optional letter of recommendation (from a non-relative citing the applicant's character, community activities, work ethic, and possible success in an education career), and finally, a letter of acceptance from a college.
We also offer one, $1,000 scholarship to a female currently pursuing an education degree at a 4 year college and is preparing to student teach! Each student must meet the following criteria to be considered for the scholarship: must be enrolled in a course of study leading to certification in public education, must be preparing to student teach within the next two semesters, and must have a minimum GPA of 3.0. The applicant must then complete an application, must write an essay (the applicant must introduce herself and her family, cite involvement in school, community, and educational activities, discuss why education is her chosen major, and state her future goals in education), submit a letter of recommendation (from a professor in applicant's major field of study), submit a letter of recommendation (from a non-relative citing the applicant's work or interaction with children, work ethic, and possible success in education), the most recent college transcript, and a current resume.
All applications are then reviewed by our DKG Beta Pi Scholarship Committee.
