The Guy Levis Grant Award is one of five individual honors presented by Kappa Alpha Psi at its annual or bi-annual Grand Chapter meetings. It was established in 1974 at the 59th Grand Chapter Meeting in Chicago, Illinois, by 21st Grand Polemarch Elbert E. Allen. The award is named after the fraternity's founder, Guy Levis Grant. The award was first presented in 1976 at the 60th Grand Chapter Meeting in New Orleans, Louisiana.
The Guy Levis Grant Award is the highest award reserved solely for undergraduate members of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity; it is bestowed upon collegiate members who demonstrate scholarship, community leadership, and meritorious achievement in school, as well as in the local community or region. Recipients are selected based on petitions submitted to the Achievement Commission, a 13-member committee appointed by the Grand Polemarch. No more than four awards can be granted during any Grand Chapter session.
