Congratulations to the eleven students listed above and our thanks to the Selection Committee of the Sigma Beta Delta Board of Directors for their dedication. Thank you to the faculty who took the time and made the effort to nominate the applicants, Sigma Beta Delta chapters could not exist without the guidance of faculty advisors.

***Sigma Beta Delta will be increasing the total amount of the 2014 Fellowship prizes to $20,000 to celebrate our 20th Anniversary. We unfortunately had the lowest number of applicants in many years for the 2013 Fellowships, so please make sure your students are aware of this great opportunity.***

Sandra Hammerly Fellowship

The Board of Sigma Beta Delta named the SANDRA ESTEP HAMMERLY FELLOWSHIP in honor of Sandra Hammerly. Sandra retired in August of 2013 after serving as Executive Director and 10 years of dedicated and distinguished service to officers, members, and alumni of Sigma Beta Delta and to the collegiate movement. Her dedicated, persistent, and effective work resulted in hundreds of Sigma Beta Delta chapters being created throughout this nation and abroad, enabling hundreds of colleges and universities with the opportunity to provide the nation’s best and brightest students to have national honor society recognition. The Board of Directors of Sigma Beta Delta expressed deep appreciation and affection for Sandra upon her retirement and recognized that her decade of service extends beyond the immediate workplace into the lives of many thousands of individuals who have a key and certificate bearing Greek letters of Sigma Beta Delta. The Board offered their unanimous expression of warm and deep affection for Sandra, and gave visibility to it by naming the fellowship in her honor.
