Program accomplishments

  • Alpha Chi chapters are supported by a robust chapter support program. Alpha Chi provides the software used by chapters to manage invitations and registrations (which includes national and local dues income management), and administrative support and training. Printing and shipping costs for all new member items sent to chapters for distribution are part of this support. In addition, a fund of $7,000 a year is set aside for chapter activity grants that chapters can apply for to create on-campus events and programs. Advisors are presented with recognition pins at significant intervals of service. An annual fund of $2,750 for need-based dues scholarships is available to chapters.
    Expenses $295,540 · revenue $32,508
  • Academic scholarships and fellowships (up to $83,750) and convention presentations and collaborative research team prizes ($10,000) are awarded annually to student members. Scholarship and fellowship applications are reviewed and winners are selected by the Scholarship Committee of the National Council of Alpha Chi. Students presenting at the annual national convention are eligible to compete for the convention-related prizes. Regional scholarships are administered by the officers of each of Alpha Chi's seven regions at $1,000 per region.
    Expenses $88,331 · grants $88,331
  • Annual national convention of approximately 200 student members, faculty advisors, and keynote speakers who come together in a multi-disciplinary conference of academic and creative student presentations and chapter and member development workshops. Chapter representation is kept affordable with low registration fees compared to the benefits of the convention (support amounted to $8,612 in 2025). The 2025 national convention was held virtually rather than in person, which is why this figure is significantly lower compared to prior years.
    Expenses $27,836 · revenue $8,436
