As a "sisterhood of college educated women committed to public service" we strive to increase access to higher education through our chapter's scholarship fund. The LAC scholarship committee hosts a variety of fund raisers and solicits donations from individuals and organizations to help fund scholarships for deserving students in the Louisville community. In 2017, we distributed 25 scholarships to Louisvillians.
Two of our signature scholarship fundraisers are the Jazz Brunch, held in January, and Delta Days at the Races, held the second Saturday in May. The public is invited to join us as we help make higher education more affordable to Louisvillians.
