Sigma Alpha Mu Foundation

Since its founding the primary purpose of the Sigma Alpha Mu Foundation has been to provide financial aid and recognition of outstanding scholarship to student members of the Fraternity.  Today the primary source of student aid and recognition are the Foundation's endowed scholarship program and Young Scholars initiative.  Since its inception in 1962 the Foundation has awarded more than 2,000 scholarships and awards totaling in excess of $2,000,000.

For more information on the Foundation's scholarship programs please view our 2011 Scholarship Report or contact Scholarship and Foundation Coordinator Maria Mandel.

How to Endow a Sigma Alpha Mu Scholarship

Fratres and friends of Sigma Alpha Mu may endow a permanent scholarship award through the Foundation's endowed scholarship program with a gift of $25,000 or more.  Each $25,000 of endowment will support an annual award of $1000.  Scholarship endowments may be funded over several years by an individual or group of individuals.  The donor(s) may propose criterion for the scholarship such as specific chapter, major/minor, or other areas of interest; all criterion must be consistent with the Foundation's mission and regulations regarding public foundations.  All scholarship awards are determined by the Foundation's Scholarship Selection Committee.
