Our Approach
“We few, we happy few, we band of brothers"
The Beta Kappa Phi Fraternity has made a positive impact on the University of Massachusetts at Amherst for 100 years. Today the Beta Kappa Phi – Alpha Gamma Rho Scholarship Foundation continues that mission as a registered 501c3 organization whose goal is to assist disadvantaged youth with financial scholarships that can help a student attend the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, in addition to offering scholarships to lineal descendants of the fraternity. We endeavor to help these students not just with one award but when a student receives an Alpha Gamma Rho – Beta Kappa Phi Scholarship they get assistance throughout their college career right up through graduation. Our focus is to honor our past by supporting excellence in education.
