Our scholarship recipients are selected by a volunteer led scholarship committee. These volunteers take all factors into account when making their selections, providing equal opportunities to all candidates.

Who should I ask for a letter of recommendation?

Anyone who is in a position to speak to your character; ideally not family members or undergraduate chapter brothers. For example: alumni, professors, former employers, supervisors from volunteer positions, etc.

How many scholarships can I apply for?

When submitting your application, you’ll have the opportunity to select all the scholarships you wish to apply for. There is no limit to the number of scholarships for which you can apply. Some do have specific requirements, so be sure to read over those carefully. For those submitting to the Paul A. Elfers Omega Scholarship, there is a separate essay that is required.
