The Zada M. Cooper Scholarship was established in 1955 in honor of Kappa Epsilon's founder, Zada M. Cooper. Recognizing superior achievement, the scholarship is supported by a small percentage of each member's national dues in addition to KE members who donate to the scholarship fund. The award consists of six $500 scholarships presented annually to active collegiate members by the KE Foundation.

The applicant must have completed the equivalent of six semesters of undergraduate education with at least two of these semesters in an accredited college of pharmacy. Preference is given to those applicants who have not only maintained high academic standards but who have also contributed substantially to the activities of their KE chapter and college of pharmacy. Consideration is given to those applicants who are in need of financial assistance. There may be more than one applicant per collegiate chapter.

Applications due by November 15.
