Kappa Delta Pi firmly believes that a teacher’s effectiveness has the greatest impact on students’ achievement and learning. As part of its efforts to provide members with the tools to be more effective, Kappa Delta Pi offers up to 50 Classroom Teacher Grants to pre-K–12 private, public, parochial, and home school teachers. 

These grants provide members who are practicing teachers with the funds to support specific programs or activities in the classroom that engage students in the learning process through interactive activities. They also allow teachers to purchase items or fund field trips when school funds aren’t available. 

KDP scholarships are available to current, active undergraduate, graduate, and doctoral degree-seeking students. Applications cannot be accepted from inactive members or nonmembers.

Through a unique partnership with EF Tours, 19 Kappa Delta Pi members traveled internationally expense-free to locations such as Greece, Australia, Costa Rica, Egypt, Italy, and Ireland.

Literacy Alive! is a national initiative to encourage lifelong learning through literacy-based programming and events. This initiative encompasses various programs, from basic book drives to a semester-long partnership with a school, to strengthen reading skills and enrich lives. Each spring, the KDP Educational Foundation supports KDP chapter programs that bring literacy to life through special refunding grants.
