The World Fellowship Committee met in Austin, Texas to determine the recipients of $70,000 dollars that our DKG members, chapters, and states contributed.
Did you know that World Fellowships are SOLELY funded by your generous donations?
There is no endowment for this project that every member, chapter, and state has supported since 1946! These awards are not being given from interest because there is NO Endowment! What is truly amazing is the generosity of each member, chapter, and state who believe in collectively working together to globally change the WORLD one dollar at a time!
Did you know that our World Fellowship recipients receive $4,000 initially? One of the responsibilities of the committee is to determine how many can be awarded with the amount of money that was raised the previous year. Another consideration is the number of students who request extensions. The committee factors both into the equation and carefully considers how our donations are spent each year.
We were privileged to read 43 applications this year! In 2023, the World Fellowship Committee awarded five extensions in the amount of $1,000 for doctoral students and three extensions in the amount of $800 for masters’ students. Fifteen new students will be receiving $4,000 to study in the United States or Canada.
We would like to thank everyone who supported World Fellowship and encourage you to continue to give!
