Sigma Alpha Mu Foundation SCHOLARSHIP REPORT June 1, 2014 - May 31, 2015

Dear Fratres and Friends

Dear Fratres and Friends,

Scholarship and endowed scholarships are central to the work of ∑AM Foundation. Your gifts and gifts from others like you provide funding for competitive scholarships ranging from a Young Scholar award given this year to 95 new members through scholarships for graduate study. All of these encourage our undergraduate members to achieve their best as scholars and leaders.

This work is essential. You have heard about the financial challenges faced by today’s undergraduates. You and I, through our gifts, have the privilege of making a difference for nearly 200 young ∑AM members for the 2014-2015 academic year, with more to come in 2015-2016.

Your funds also provide important inspiration and motivation. One Young Scholar wrote, “Right from the start of pledge process, our education chair told us about the Young Scholars scholarship and pushed us to do well academically … we set up study hours … where we met multiple times a week.”

Reflecting our commitment to our undergraduate and graduate members, donors created six new named scholarships for Sammies in the 2014-2015 year. These include scholarships for a frater majoring in a specialized field; or from a specific area; or a member of a specific chapter. Donors include a foundation board member, a Beta Delta chapter member; brothers who are also both members of Mu Psi chapter; and fratres from Beta Sigma chapter. All six scholarships were awarded and now form part of the opportunities ∑AM Foundation can offer young men pursuing higher education and their higher ideas.

Thank you for your gifts and your continued support for ∑AM Foundation.
