Providing scholarships and awards is part of the Sigma Chi Foundation's goal to
promote academic excellence and lifelong learning. We proudly award Brothers who show outstanding character-in-action, academic motivation, and commitment to their chapters and campuses.
These scholarships are made possible by the generous donations of your Sigma Chi alumni Brothers to the Foundation.
"Receiving a scholarship from Sigma Chi means so much to me. I have never had anyone that could help me financially, so I have always had to rely on myself and make do to the best of my ability. Sigma Chi has shown me in several ways that I no longer have to rely on myself for everything. They have shown me a true family and a true brotherhood and it doesn't matter if times are hard or perfectly fine. This award has lifted a huge burden off of my shoulders, but more importantly, it reminds me again that as I climb this mountain called life I no longer climb it alone."

General Academic Scholarships
The Sigma Chi Foundation seeks to recognize undergraduate brothers who have shown outstanding values-based leadership, maintained strong academic performance and who have demonstrated financial need through the General Academic Scholarship.
Sigma Chi Foundation is pleased to provide up to 175 recipients a $1,000 grant toward his qualified educational expenses (a 350% increase in total scholarships in just four fiscal years).
The General Scholarship is open to undergraduates from any Sigma Chi chapter. In fiscal year 2011-12, 85 general scholarships will be awarded in memory of Brother Gordon L. Snider, Beta Gamma 1940, and 20 general awards will be presented in memory of Brother and Past Grand Consul James F. Bash, Lambda 1946 and his sweetheart Connie.
Through the Thomas Cowan Bell Chapter Challenge and the Named Scholarship Endowment program a donor may create a designated academic scholarship for his home chapter.
