Dear Sisters and Friends of the Memphis Alumnae Chapter,  

As ZTAs we all share a very special bond that may have started during our college days, when we served as an advisor or even when we became members of our alumnae chapter. While no two chapters are alike, we each share a bond in Zeta Tau Alpha where we learned the value of sisters and our education. As we embark on the 100th year as the Memphis Alumnae Chapter, we want to honor our legacy and secure an educational opportunity for sisters in the future. Our chapter is pleased to announce the Zeta Tau Alpha Memphis Alumnae Chapter Endowed Scholarship.

This scholarship is a commitment by the Memphis Alumnae Chapter to give a minimum of $50,000 to the Zeta Tau Alpha Foundation. Once funded, a scholarship will be given each year to a ZTA collegian attending a university in the Mid-South. Our chapter has funded a scholarship for over 20 years, and we want to ensure this tradition continues. We are excited to leave a legacy for women in the next 100 years.

Please consider helping us reach our goal. Your contribution is tax deductible and can be made over a three-year period. The Zeta Tau Alpha Foundation is also eligible for most company match programs. If choosing a three-year period donation, the final donation would need to be made by August 31, 2028. Below are recommended levels of giving:

            Turquoise Donor                 $1 - $499

            Silver Donor                          $500 - $749

            White Violet Donor           $750 - $999
