Any inducted member of Alpha Lambda Delta who has maintained a 3.5 (on a 4.0 scale) cumulative grade point average through graduation is eligible to apply. Members graduating this year may apply if they have achieved this average at the end of the first semester (or first quarter) of the current year. In determining the average of eligibility, the decimal point must be a .5 or above, not a .49 or any other average less than a .5. Selection will be based on academic records, references submitted, essay questions, and campus and community activities.

Application Procedure

  • Complete the application form, making sure to answer each applicable question completely.

  • Be sure your responses are confined to the space allotted on the application form.

  • Prepare the supplemental materials. Each application must be accompanied by:

    • Complete transcripts from each college/university attended;

    • Two letters of reference (to be uploaded by the recommender), with at least one being from a faculty member or instructor of record. Letters of reference need to be uploaded to ALD’s application portal by the deadline. The application will ask you for their name and email address, which then generates an email to them with a link to upload.

The deadline for the Graduate Fellowship applications for the 2024-25 academic year was February 1, 2024. Decision letters have been sent.
