Leadership & Academic Excellence
Scholarship
Whether a member chooses to serve on a committee, run for a chapter office, or represent AOII as a member of other campus organizations, there are unlimited opportunities to be involved in AOII We offer something that fits into every personal interest and encourages personal leadership development. To help great sisters turn into great leaders, they attend many different AOII leadership institutes, conventions, and academies.
AOII encourages all members to excel academically and has many programs designed to assist women in achieving their academic goals. Expectations are high but the support provided by scholarship programs, academic development officer resources, and fellow members makes success attainable. The emphasis on these pursuits was instilled by the four founding members of AOII in 1897 at Barnard College of Columbia University in New York, and this commitment remains a strong part of AOII today.
Need some tuition assistance? If you are a current undergraduate student, you may apply for a scholarship for your sophomore, junior or senior year. If you are a graduating senior applying to attend graduate school in the fall OR you are currently a graduate student, you may apply for a graduate scholarship. If you are an active AOII alumna who has been out of school for several years but are planning to return to school (either undergraduate or graduate) you may apply for a returning alumnae scholarship. The deadline for 2010-2011 applications was March 1, 2010. Applications will soon be available for the 2011-2012 academic year.
