Scholarships

The local scholarship program was designed by the Executive Board in conjunctions with a committee assigned by the Beta Kappa alumni association at the conclusion of the fall 1995 semester. The intent behind the scholarship is to promote and reward academic success, strengthen brotherhood, and aid in recruitment.

Every semester the Beta Kappa alumni association allots $400 to the Chapter. At the conclusion of the semester, the Executive Board reviews the grades and attendance of all scholarship applicants and applies the information to the scholarship criteria. The Executive Board nominates and votes on all candidates. Scholarships are awarded at the White Rose Formal in the spring or the Holiday Formal in the fall semester. Below is the criteria for scholarship eligibility.
