As Alumni, most of you know that just because you graduated college, that doesn’t mean your learning ends! For some, it’s straight into the work force. For others, it’s a bit of traveling and “sowing your wild oats” before settling down into a full-time career. And for others, there’s graduate school and more. Regardless of the path you chose after graduation, one thing things remains true – you’re still learning!
But getting that additional education isn’t always inexpensive. Juggling a family, a home, and a career can sometimes leave little time (and little money!) available to go back to school for that graduate degree. Did you know that Chi Phi can help with that? Chi Phi’s Educational Trust awards $100,000 in academic and member development scholarships each and every year, and some of those scholarships are awarded to Alumni who seek to further their education. Just ask Alumnus, Brother David Ebner, who won a graduate scholarship this year!
There are various scholarships available to Chi Phi members, including Graduate Scholarships and the Ramsaur Leadership Award. All applications for scholarships are reviewed and evaluated by a panel made up strictly of volunteer Alumni. Once applications are submitted, the Scholarship Committee will match qualified applicants with all available scholarships for which they are eligible. Scholarships can range in amounts anywhere from $750 all the way up to $2,000!
For more information on the scholarships, eligibility, the review process, and how to apply, go to the National Chi Phi website at http://www.chiphi.org/scholarship.
