Kappa Epsilon Foundation Grants

The Kappa Epsilon Foundation provides individual Kappa Epsilon members and chapters with incentive funds for innovative, educational programs and projects that focus on the profession of pharmacy.

Any initiated Kappa Epsilon member or chartered chapter in good standing with the Fraternity may apply. Deadline for submission is November 15th of each calendar year. There is no limitation on the number of grants or times a member or chapter may apply. The total expenditure for KE Foundation Grants each fiscal year within the biennium will not exceed $1600. The KE Foundation Grants are available for application during each year of the biennium.

The Process


All KE Foundation Grant Applications must have an educational component and focus on the profession of pharmacy. Travel and fuel-related expenditures will not be considered. A KE Foundation Grant Application must be submitted by November 15th each year.  Applicants should allow a two-month turnaround time between the date of submission of the grant request and the subsequent award. Each KE Foundation Grant Application will be reviewed by the KE Foundation Officers and Trustees for final approval. Applicants should expect to receive notification of the outcome of their request by email.

Follow-Up


Foundation Grant recipients are required to provide a final progress report (one-page synopsis) upon completion of the project or program for which they were awarded. All progress reports should be submitted by November 15th of the year following the initial application, but ideally within 60 days of completion. Completion of the progress reporting requirements will ensure the eligibility of the recipient to apply for renewal grants.

An announcement about the awarding of KE Foundation Grants will appear in KE Fraternity communications.
