More about the Zada M. Cooper Scholarship:

The Zada M. Cooper Scholarship was established in 1955 and was first awarded in 1957. This fund was established in honor of KE’s founder, Zada Cooper, for the inspiration she provided to pharmacy students, both female and male. Recognizing superior achievement, this scholarship is supported by KE members who donate to the scholarship fund. The award generally consists of six $500 scholarships given to active collegiate members of the fraternity.

The applicant must have completed the equivalent of six semesters of undergraduate education, with at least two of these semesters in an accredited college of pharmacy. Preference is given to those applicants who have not only maintained high academic standards, but who have also contributed substantially to the activities of their KE chapters and college of pharmacy.
