About the Fund

The Kiyomi D. Harper ODK Scholarship Fund supports members of the Sigma Circle of Omicron Delta Kappa with a preference for members who have distinguished themselves through leadership within the Circle. The Scholarship was established in 2017 by Khalil Pettus '15 (ODK President 2014-2015) in honor of his mother.

"The University of Maryland has and continues to invest in my growth and development. The benefits I’ve enjoyed are a large reason why I’m privileged and fortunate enough to be in the position to give back and pay it forward for future students. I felt like the ODK Scholarship Fund was the perfect way to give back, while at the same time honoring and showing appreciation to my beloved mother – the most impactful driving force in my life, particularly as it relates to education. The power of education should never be underestimated in enabling one to realize his or her dream. As such, I hope this gift to support the Kiyomi Harper ODK Scholarship Fund will help equip future students to achieve their hopes and aspirations." - Khalil Pettus
