The typical college student works at least 20 hours per week to meet the skyrocketing costs of tuition, room and board, and books. More than ever, students need financial assistance to stay in school. With your help, the Gamma Phi Beta Foundation provides that. I The Foundation awards nearly $55,000 each year in undergraduate scholarships, graduate fellowships and emergency grants-in-aid. These awards have helped hundreds of Gamma Phis reach their dreams of earning degrees.

Applications for Foundation scholarships and fellowships for the 1997-98 school year will be available in December, 1996 from chapter scholarship chairwomen or from the Gamma Phi Beta Foundation, 12737 E. Euclid Dr., Englewood, CO 80111, (303)799-1874, ext. 304.
