Alpha Delta Kappa International Teacher Education ProgramIn 1961 Alpha Delta Kappa, International Honorary Sorority for Women Educators, unanimously adopted the concept for the International Teacher Education program as its International altruistic program — a program designed, at that time, to bring women students to the United States for their final year in teacher training. In 1963, the first three Alpha Delta Kappa -International Teacher Education students arrived from Switzerland, Germany, and Argentina. Each student received a $1,000 scholarship. Through the years, Alpha Delta Kappa has increased the size of its scholarships, and today each recipient receives a $10,000 scholarship. Students currently in our program may apply for an additional year. To date, Alpha Delta Kappa has sponsored over 200 students from more than 40 countries. Funded by the nearly 1,800 Alpha Delta Kappa chapters, the purpose of this scholarship program is: To promote better worldwide understanding through the field of education; and to focus attention on the precepts, which are the foundation of Alpha Delta Kappa. Program. The goals of the International Teacher Education Program provide foreign students the following opportunities:
