“We were overwhelmed at the response to our initial offering of a graduate research grant.

The Society gives nearly $1 million each year to outstanding students and members through study abroad grants, graduate fellowships, funding for post-baccalaureate development, member and chapter awards, and grants for local, national and international literacy initiatives.
