The PIKE U Scholarship Program is a vital component of PIKE U. The scholarship program provides direct support for Pi Kappa Alpha chapters and colonies to encourage participation in PIKE U events.
PIKE U Scholarships
Each chapter and provisional chapter has a scholarship account to help offset registration costs for PIKE U events (Leadership Summits, The Academy, Chapter Executive Conference, and Convention).
Claiming Scholarships
While completing the online registration, select the “Deposit” option as your method of payment. Done. It’s as simple as that! Post event, a chapter/provisional chapter may request reimbursement from their respective PIKE U scholarship account up to the total registration costs for the event. Post-event requests must be completed within 30 days of the close of the event. Contact the Director of Events at pikeuniversity@pikes.org for more information.

How to Earn Scholarships & Build your Chapter Endowment Fund
There are three ways to earn and build funds in your scholarship account to attend PIKE U events:
- Attend PIKE U Events
- Build your Chapter Endowment Fund
- Earn International Awards
Attend PIKE U Events
Chapters that meet the minimum attendance levels set for each PIKE U event will earn $1,000 in their PIKE U scholarship fund on July 1 of each year. The attendance level set per the Fraternity Standards are as follows:
(3) Three to The Leadership Academy
(5) Five to a Regional Leadership Summit
(3) Three to the Chapter Executives Conference
Chapter Endowment Fund
The PIKE Foundation maintains an endowment account for each chapter. After an account reaches $10,000 in donations, members of that chapter may receive an annual grant to their scholarship account, based on a percentage of the account balance to attend Pike U events. Note: An endowment is a fixed amount of money that earns interest and provides a distribution from the interest earned. The corpus will grow over time with contributions and positive market returns resulting in a larger distribution amount, but the distribution is a percentage of the corpus.
There are three ways to grow your chapter’s endowment fund
- Ask all student members to join φφκα.
- Encourage alumni to make a designated tax-deductible gift to the PIKE Foundation for your Chapter Endowment Fund.
- Encourage parents and grandparents to make a designated tax-deductible gift to the PIKE Foundation for your Chapter Endowment Fund.
Recruitment Incentive
Chapters that meet the criteria for the annual recruitment incentives may earn additional PIKE U scholarship funds. Please contact the Director of Membership Growth for more information.
