Scholarship
Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc. is a community-conscious, action oriented organization. Since its inception in Dallas in 1931, Kappa Zeta Chapter, the local arm of this organization, has provided services and support to the Dallas Metroplex. One of our major thrusts is scholarship which has been the impetus for awards averaging $5,000 to $10,000 per year to deserving high school seniors who participate in our special scholarship program, Miss Blue Revue. We are pleased to announce the additional scholarships being offered by our chapter. Descriptions of each can be found below.
