As a "sisterhood of college educated women committed to public service" we strive to increase access to higher education through our scholarship fund. The Louisville Alumnae Chapter awards tens of thousands of dollars each year to graduating high school seniors and collegiate students. Our signature fund raising events where all proceeds go to our scholarship recipients include our annual Scholarship Brunch held in January and our Delta Day at the Races held on the second Saturday in May.  We also solicit donations from individuals and organizations to help fund scholarships for deserving students in our service area of Louisville and Oldham County.
