OUR MESSAGE
Established in Washington, D.C. in 1988 by the members of the Alpha Kappa
Alpha Sorority, Inc., ® Xi Omega Chapter, the Pearl and Ivy Educational Foundation was
formed by dedicated volunteers, committed to serving those in the community who need
assistance. From the beginning, the Foundation’s focus has been to support
opportunities for deserving youth graduating from public high schools and public charter
schools in Washington, D.C. to attend college, and continue graduate school education by
providing scholarships.
You Have, and Can Continue, To Impact Students Seeking a College Education
We recognize the contributions of individuals, businesses and the 400 member
volunteers of PIEF and Xi Omega who lifted up students and helped them achieve their
dreams in 2016.
We extend our heartfelt “thank you.”

The Scholarship Committee of the Pearl and Ivy Educational Foundation

(1) The PIEF high school scholarships, awarded each spring and open to
graduating seniors enrolled in District of Columbia public high schools
and public charter high schools;
(2) (2) PIEF “returning” or “renewal” scholarships, awarded to former PIEF
high school scholarship recipients currently enrolled and in good
standing at colleges / universities as rising sophomores – rising seniors;
and
(3) (3) Xi Omega undergraduate scholarships, awarded to members of the
three undergraduate chapters of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. (Alpha
Chapter at Howard University, Beta Lambda Chapter at the University of
the District of Columbia and Lambda Zeta Chapter at American
University) supervised by the Xi Omega Chapter.
Each set of scholarships is application-based, with students required to
submit a written application, supporting documentation, and for the first two
categories of scholarships an essay responding to a designated question.
