    ALPHA KAPPA ALPHA SORORITY, INCORPORATED®

    Twenty Pearls of Canton Foundation
    Upsilon Upsilon Omega Chapter

    Our foundation has established scholarships for students in the Canton, Madison, and Leake County Mississippi areas to show our support for those pursuing higher education. We will designate scholarships for students enrolling in a Historically Black College or University (HBCU), non-HBCUs, and scholarships for students enrolling in a community college or career technical education program, in addition to book stipends.

    Please note that there is a letter of recommendation required from a school official and a community official; therefore, please let them know early enough to write the letters prior to the due date. 

    Completed applications must be emailed to yyoscholarship@gmail.com or returned to the following address postmarked by Friday, March 28, 2025:
