The Evan Thoennes Memorial Scholarship prioritizes support for freshman through senior collegian members of Alpha Chi at Purdue University pursuing undergraduate degrees during the award year. If no eligible applicants are identified, preference shifts to senior collegians or alumnae of Alpha Chi pursuing graduate study. Should neither group qualify, the award may be granted to any collegian or alumna member of the Fraternity pursuing undergraduate or graduate education. In the event Alpha Chi is disestablished, the scholarship will follow the Foundation's current general criteria, first seeking qualified Alpha Chi members, and if none are eligible, extending to any qualified Fraternity member. To be eligible for Theta Foundation scholarships, you must be a college or alumna member of Kappa Alpha Theta in good standing with the Fraternity.
