Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc., founded in 1911, is a predominantly African American fraternity. The Syracuse (NY) Alumni Chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi was chartered on September 29, 1973, by 12 determined men.

Since 1993, the Syracuse (NY) Alumni Chapter has raised over $55,000.00 dollars and has been blessed to present annual scholarships to deserving African American high school males from the Syracuse community. We are proud of our past scholarship winners and the part that we have played in helping them achieve their goals. Today, we are excited to celebrate our 2021 award recipients. Each student received a $1,000 scholarship. Below, please read the abridged version of how our two scholarships were started.

In March 1993, the Syracuse (NY) Alumni Chapter dedicated a scholarship in memory of Brother M. Gilbert Kirkland. Brother Kirkland was affectionately known as the “Godfather” of the Chapter. He became a lifelong member of the fraternity and was a charter member of the Syracuse (NY) Alumni Chapter.

In 2002, the scholarship fund received a generous bequest from the family of Brother Merle R. Greene, a founding member of the chapter. Brother Greene was a retired United States Army captain. He is remembered for his wit, wisdom, and dedication to the chapter.
