Alpha Psi Chapter Investment Fund

The Alpha Psi Chapter Investment Fund (CIF) is an endowment-type account held by the Pi Kappa Phi Foundation that allows alumni and friends of the Fraternity the ability to make a tax-deductible gift to Pi Kappa Phi and restrict that gift to a specific chapter.

Our current balance is $27,345.10 (as of December 31, 2022). From this program, grants may be made from that fund to the chapter for qualified educational expenses, including scholarships, conference registration fees and related travel expenses, to name a few.

Each year, the program allows four percent of the CIF (based on the previous year’s December 31 closing balance) to be used in support of educational initiatives at the chapter level.

Current Scholarship Programs

Highest GPA (active member, each semester) $500

Highest GPA (associate member, each class) $500

As we continue to grow this fund, we will explore more opportunities to assist the undergraduates. Please contribute to the Alpha Psi Chapter Investment Fund if you can.
