Since 1985, KGP has awarded more than $290,000 in scholarships to deserving Kappas!
On behalf of the scholarship recipients,
a big THANK YOU to our Cornaro Scholarship Donors.
Funding for the Cornaro Scholarship comes from voluntary contributions by Kappa members—primarily donations above the stipulated national dues amount and memorial contributions. The Cornaro Scholarship Fund is a permanently restricted account that is kept separate from other KGP financial accounts. The amount of the award and the number of scholarships that will be presented each year are determined by the KGP National Board when each biennial budget is prepared.
