Alpha Phi Alpha Education and Scholarship Fund Essay Requirement The Alpha Phi Alpha Education and Scholarship program is an investment in your future. Since our fraternity’s founding on a college campus in 1906, the tenacious pursuit of education has been one of our bedrock principles. You are considered for a scholarship because you have shown a measure of determination through your Scholastic achievement. Because you have reached this level of consideration, we would like to further explore your thoughts on higher education and its relationship to your future.

Please submit a typed, double spaced essay between 300-500 words explaining the role of higher education in your future. Include the following: 1.

Your reason for pursuing higher education.

2.

Explain how your higher education plan would work.

3.

How education will impact your future career possibilities.

Your essay will tell us a great deal about you, however; it should also tell you some things as well. No matter what course of study you purse, the essay will demand from you the ability to think and write in a coherent and concise manner. We, the members of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc., believe you can do it! Ultimately, however, it is neither the fraternity nor other outside interest that you must measure the seriousness of your educational pursuit. The greatest test must always come from within.
