The application process for the Phi Delta Theta Foundation’s undergraduate scholarships and graduate school fellowships is now open. These scholarships and fellowships will be awarded for the 2017-18 academic year. All undergraduate members, in good standing and with at least one year left in school, are eligible to apply for the undergraduate scholarships. Graduating seniors and alumni attending graduate school are eligible to apply for the graduate fellowships.
72 Whole Man Scholarships Now Available
This year’s exponentially growing Whole Man Scholarship program is set to be the biggest class of Honors College participants to date. Recipients of these very special awards will receive up to a $1,000 academic scholarship to assist with the cost of their college education and will also experience a very intensive leadership immersion experience with other Whole Man Scholars at the Kleberg Emerging Leaders Institute in Oxford, Ohio, held each summer. While in Oxford, Whole Man Scholars will participate in the Shaffer Honors College of Leadership that has been created to help the Fraternity’s finest undergraduates hone their leadership style and decision making abilities.
Applicants must be an initiated member of the chapter with a suggested 3.0 GPA, be a rising junior or senior, and have previously attended the Kleberg Emerging Leaders Institute. Other requirements include a complete online application with emphasis on leadership and ethics. A character reference is also a requirement of the application process.
If a recipient is unable to participate in the Kleberg Emerging Leaders Institute within one year of his selection, the chapter may elect to send an alternate. The alternate would then attend the Kleberg Emerging Leaders Institute and receive the academic scholarship.
