Chapter Activity Grants


Alpha Chi is excited to offer activity grants of up to $500 a year to help chapters finance a variety of events and activities! With multiple event and activity categories, we hope your chapter will find one to suit your local student body and the spirit of your chapter.
With a fund of $3,500 for the fall and $3,500 for the spring, Alpha Chi invites competitive applications. Please allow at least two weeks between your application date and the proposed event date.


Program Purpose

In order to facilitate scholarly pursuits, member development, and chapter experiences of Alpha Chi members and chapters, this competition provides funds to Alpha Chi chapters to host student-organized activities aligning with Alpha Chi’s emphasis on Truth and Character and its mission of making scholarship effective for good.

Applications will be evaluated by a selection committee under the guidance of the Executive Director. If there are areas of the application that need clarification or could be improved, guidance will be provided to the applicant within one week so that the application may be reconsidered. Funding will be granted based on the extent to which a planned activity:

  • Encourages student scholarship and creativity
  • Promotes the visibility of Alpha Chi among your student body and/or local community
  • Promotes the importance of engaging in civil discourse on humanitarian issues, educational topics, and real-world problems
  • Gets Alpha Chi members involved in hands-on community service

Applications may be completed by a chapter advisor; however, an added benefit of the competition is the experience it provides student members. It is highly encouraged (not required) that a student officer or other lead member be the chapter representative for purposes of this application. This will provide your students with an opportunity to engage in collaborative planning with staff and peers and practice grant-writing skills.
