Of these 96 scholarships, 43 were awarded during the 2019-20 academic year. The total value of all 96 awards amounts to $131,500. This coming spring, we expect to follow the same application and award process. The Scholarship Awards Committee will continue to give special consideration to selected brothers who also qualify for financial aid as determined by Oklahoma State University's Office of Financial Need. We all love Sigma Chi and appreciate the impact it has had on our lives. Heartfelt thanks to those of you who have contributed your hard-earned dollars to support Gamma Delta's scholarship program. The message to our scholarship recipients is: "Hey brothers, we want college life and Sigma Chi to be as important to you as it is to us. Keep up the good work!" Growing the corpus of our fund remains a priority. As we enter the season of giving, please consider supporting the Gamma Delta of Sigma Chi Endowed Scholarship Fund at the OSU Foundation (Fund #34-88950). It is a deserving recipient that, in turn, supports the ever-increasing financial needs of our next generation of leaders who choose the Sigma Chi way of life.
