OEO Arts Scholarship
Omega Eta Omega Chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated embraces and supports our beloved sorority’s focus on academic excellence. As a commitment to this ideal , the chapter is supporting worthy students attending Coppin State University.
We support and sustain the enrollment of underprivileged students in seeking a degree in higher education programs at an HBCU. With expenses associated with higher education continuing to increase, many students who are enrolled and are successfully meeting the academic requirements of their college/university program, struggle to meet the associated financial cost. The OEO scholarship aims to ease the financial burden that many students face when achieving a college/university degree.
The arts scholarships will be awarded each year. Different students will be selected each year. Applications will be distributed by Coppin State University – Division of Institutional Advancement.

We request return of applications by July 1st via email at: scholarship@akaoeo.org
