The Extolling Excellence Foundation for Service and Scholarship, Inc.,(EEFSS), a philanthropic arm of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc., Sigma Kappa Zeta Chapter (Brooklyn, NY). The Foundation was established in 2008 to award scholarship grants to worthy young women in NYC who are completing their senior year of high school or entering a four-year accredited college or university.

The mission of the Foundation is to assist all women in their pursuit of higher education and career development, to conduct community initiatives that improve individual and community living standards, and to engage in appropriate research related to the Foundation’s purposes.
On September 5, 201,1 the Foundation announced the launch of its Extolling Excellence Scholarship. The scholarship is created largely through grassroots fundraising efforts. The scholarship is awarded based on the merits of the student’s GPA, community service, and extra-curricular activities, as well as a competitive written essay. In December, 2011, the Foundation awarded a $10,000 scholarship to a deserving young woman who demonstrated excellence in academic and community service.

Since then Foundation has received several community grants to support our philanthropic endeavors, including co-sponsoring the Zora Neale Hurston Oratorical Competition held biennially in Brooklyn, NY. The Foundation continues to seek and create opportunities to raise money to fund the Extolling Excellence Scholarship and is on track to award over $35,000 in scholarships by 2026.
