The Gina Guthrie Scholarship Fund is no longer taking applications for our fall 2026 award for members of the Beta Pi Chapter of the Kappa Delta sorority at the University of Florida. Our board is currently reviewing all of the applications and reading the essays so we can make an award on November 15th. The requirements for the upcoming award are below.

​

To determine the recipient of the award, we held an essay contest that consisted of three parts. First, the applicant had to show financial need. We asked them to briefly tell us about their financial situation and how this scholarship would help them. The second part was an essay on a place that the applicant would like to travel to and why. It could be a dream trip, a place they’d like to take their family, someplace they wanted to revisit, or somewhere they want to go to study and learn more about a different culture. The last part of the application was another essay on their favorite meal they ever ate and why. Travel and food were two of the things Gina was most passionate about and we decided to use them as the main criteria to select our winner. We were looking for creativity, originality, inspiration, and passion in their writing.

The recipient's name and essay will be posted on our website on November 15th and awarded a $2,500 scholarship from the Gina Guthrie Scholarship Fund! Thanks, and good luck to everyone who applied!!!
