Scholarship Spotlight: Kayla Aprile
Gamma Sigma Alpha was pleased to continue the tradition of awarding scholarships to undergraduate members pursuing advanced degrees for the 2011-2012 academic year. We were able to recognize four outstanding students with scholarships to assist them as they pursue advanced degrees. Each recipient will be highlighted individually throughout this academic year.
Kayla Aprile is one of four scholarship recipients for the 2011-2012 academic year
The first student we would like to spotlight is Kayla Aprile, a 2009 Gamma Sigma Alpha initiate from the Chi chapter at Albion College. Aprile graduated in May with a major in Biochemistry and was accepted into medical school at the University of Michigan where she is currently in her first year of the program. During her time at Albion College, she excelled in the classroom and in extracurricular activities. She was a leader within her Alpha Xi Delta sorority chapter, worked at the campus library and volunteered at the local elementary school and with Habitat for Humanity all while achieving high academic honors.
Aprile’s former fraternity/sorority advisor said this about her:
Kayla has a high level of moral reasoning and has exemplified her own standards for personal conduct in a consistent way. Kayla leads with integrity in everything she does and serves as a great role model for the entire Albion College campus community.
Aprile served as President of the Gamma Sigma Alpha chapter during her senior year. With the goals of increasing the chapter’s visibility on campus and raising membership numbers, she had her work cut out for her. She was able to exceed her own goals and triple membership in Gamma Sigma Alpha!
The Gamma Sigma Alpha Board of Directors and staff wishes Kayla Aprile much success as she pursues her medical degree! Congratulations on your accomplishments!
