Chapter 062

National Fellowship Competition

Chapter 062 Nominees
Each year the national Society awards 80 Fellowships of $5,000 each and 30 Honorable Mention Awards of $1,500 each to students to help support their first year of graduate studies. Students are selected for these awards through a national competition. Each chapter is allowed to submit the name and credentials of one student for the competition. The national organization selects the winners from this field of students.

Each year our chapter solicits applications from the university's top students, those possessing at least a 3.8 grade point average. Our chapter then selects the student considered to be the best from this field of applicants. This student's name and credentials are forwarded to the national office.

Click HERE to view examples of letters students receive encouraging them to apply for fellowship applications. One letter is sent by the chapter to all seniors with a minimum of a 3.8 grade point average. A second letter is an example of one sent to the deans of the various colleges and schools requesting their help to reach their top students.

We are very proud of our students and their accomplishments. Our chapter is fortunate to have several recipients over the years.
