It also supports educational programs that develop leadership and professional development skills. The foundation also publishes The Diary of Alpha Kappa Psi.
About This Cause
FOUNDATION PROGRAMS Academy This first-rate, all-expenses-paid leadership development conference is among the finest learning opportunities available to college students. Completely funded by the Alpha Kappa Psi Foundation, the Academy is based on the contemporary concepts contained in the business best seller The Leadership Challenge. The Academy focuses on the practices and commitments of exemplary leaders and what constituents expect from them. An enrollment cap of 20 participants and a remote location ensure that the experience will be highly personal. Interactive group sessions are complemented by small group discussions led by facilitators and successful business leaders. Case Competition Through the Case Competition, students are introduced to the realities of decision making. The challenges of incomplete information, time constraints and conflicting goals gives them first-hand experience in analyzing business situations. It is designed to stimulate students' thinking, challenge their capabilities, and prepare them for future managerial positions. Each year, many as five winning teams receive scholarships from the Foundation. Academic Team Seeking to identify top scholars, the Foundation’s All-AKPsi Academic Team recognizes those students who maintain excellence in academic standing while making positive contributions to their campus and community. The selection process measures an applicant’s ability to balance the pursuit of a degree with the development of leadership skills, interactive extracurricular participation, and of a sense of social responsibility which are all necessary attributes for successful growth in one’s life and career. From among the successful applicants, two or more outstanding individuals are selected as the Top Scholar Award recipients and are recognized with educational grants. Scholarships The Alpha Kappa Psi Foundation manages several scholarship endowments. Established by organizations and individuals, the interest income from these endowments is used to support annual scholarships. Some scholarships are available to all AKPsi students, while others focus specifically on those majoring in specific fields, such as accounting or healthcare management.
