Purpose and History
The
Sigma Phi Sigma Fraternity Endowed Memorial Scholarship Fund was established
by the Sigma Phi Sigma Alumni Association Board on April
14, 1997. The Scholarship is a tribute in memory of all fallen brothers.
The original goal of $10,000 ( the sum needed to endow the scholarship)
was reached 07/01/01.
Scholarship awards will be funded from 80% of the interest income generated
annually. The remaining 20% interest income is added back to the principal
balance. This guarantees a growing scholarship fund.
The Sigma Phi Sigma Scholarship Endowment Fund reached it's goal of $10,000 on July 1st, 2001. The first recipient received their award for the scholarship in the Fall of 2002 at the 40th year reunion. The 2003 - 2004 scholarship recipient was Kipper Connell.
