Click Here for Application


Alpha Kappa Psi, a co-ed professional business fraternity, is awarding scholarships to students who attend
the Carlson School of Management who have strong academic records and leadership experience. This
past year, eight scholarships were awarded for a total of almost $100,000 in scholarships, including two
scholarships each worth $20,000, which includes tuition and housing. All of the scholarships include
housing. The housing portion of all of the scholarships covers 12 months of housing at the Alpha Kappa Psi
house. You do not have to be a member of Alpha Kappa Psi to qualify for these scholarships, but
scholarship recipients are required to live at the Alpha Kappa Psi house. Alpha Kappa Psi members
will not be given preferential treatment for these scholarships.

The Alpha Eta chapter of Alpha Kappa Psi was founded at the University of Minnesota in 1922. The coeducational
professional business fraternity helps its members find balance in college through community
service, professional activities, social events, and an extensive network of current and past members. Many
of the Carlson School's most successful alumni have been affiliated with Alpha Kappa Psi.
One of the many things that set Alpha Kappa Psi apart from the rest of the business organizations on
campus is its co-educational residential facility, which is conveniently located adjacent to campus at 1116 5th
Street SE. The Alpha Kappa Psi house provides a place for members and residents to meet, hold events,
hangout, study, and live. Since all of the Alpha Kappa Psi scholarships include paid housing, each
scholarship recipient is required to live at the Alpha Kappa Psi house with the other scholarship
recipients and attend the Carlson School of Management.
