International Scholarships can make the Difference - Scholarships impact education worldwide
DKG strives to assist members in their quest to become their best. DKG provides support to women educators throughout their careers and beyond. Life changing scholarship opportunities for advanced degrees and doctorate degrees are available for Delta Kappa Gamma members. Those seeking an advanced degree and who have been a member for at least one year may apply for a $ 6000 scholarship. Members who have been in DKG for at least three years and working on a doctorate may apply for a $ 10.000 scholarship. The scholarship does not only alleviate some of the financial stress, it is also a powerful tool to keep you from quitting.
The DKG International Scholarship Committee supports three of the seven Purposes of the Society:
3. To enhance the professional interest and position of women in education.
5. To endow scholarships to aid outstanding women educators in pursuing graduate
study and to grant fellowships to non-member educators.
6. To stimulate the personal and professional growth of members and to encourage
their participation in appropriate programs of action.
The DKG Scholarship Application will be available at dkg.org on July 1, each year. The scholarship committee edits the form to be more relevant as well as user friendly for all member countries. Due to the different cultures it is possible that you can’t fulfill some of the requirements you find in the form (MA graduation, transcripts or current status). It is sufficient to submit an equivalent document. The committee members are offering assistance with filling in the form. I’d like to encourage our European members to apply for a scholarship. Up to now only a few have tried.
Generous donations such as bequests, contribution from estates, stocks, and gifts made in memory or in honor of members provide the funding for DKG scholarships. Any donation will help to stabilize the scholarship fund.
