The Beta Iota Chapter Scholarship will be awarded to (1) a Beta Iota initiate or affiliate who is a current undergraduate member of Beta Iota at the University of Colorado, or a Beta Iota alumna who is pursuing a graduate degree. (2) If no applicants meet the first criteria, the scholarship will be awarded to an undergraduate Beta Iota initiate. (3) If no applicants meet the first or second criteria, the scholarship will be awarded to any Theta collegian or alumna with a permanent address in the state of Colorado who will pursue an undergraduate or graduate degree during the academic year for which the scholarship is awarded. (4) If no applicants meet the first to third criteria, the scholarship will be awarded to any member of the Fraternity. Applicants must provide the contact information of their reference, who should be their current or former supervisor or mentor in an academic, community, professional, and/or Theta-related capacity. Ideally, the reference should be able to compellingly speak to the applicant's commitment to Kappa Alpha Theta's values; able to clearly articulate specific details about the applicant's accomplishments, goals, and character; and be more than just the applicant's social contact. Please visit the scholarship's website or contact the Kappa Alpha Theta Foundation for more information.
