Sigma Alpha Mu Foundation Legacy Scholarship
Create Your Own Legacy: Establish a Scholarship Fund
Establishing a named Scholarship Fund ensures that your support for the brotherhood remains strong year after year. With a gift of $50,000 or more, you create a lasting resource that sustains our student fratres for generations to come. This is a unique opportunity to tailor the impact of your philanthropy to the values and history that matter most to you.
Individual Legacies: Create a personal fund that reflects your commitment to the fraternity, with the ability to customize criteria based on a specific chapter, academic major, or financial need.
Collective Tributes: Many of our most impactful scholarships are established by groups of alumni. Whether honoring the memory of a beloved frater or celebrating a milestone like a chapter anniversary or a pledge class anniversary, a collective gift creates a powerful, unified legacy.
Support Your Chapter Educational Fund
Directly impact the chapter you love. Chapter Educational Funds (CEFs) are restricted accounts managed by the Foundation for the sole benefit of a specific chapter. Because the Sigma Alpha Mu Foundation is a 501(c)(3) public charity, your gifts to a CEF are tax-deductible, providing a professional and secure way to invest in your chapter's local success.
Your support strengthens the "Sammy" experience through:
Local Scholarships: Funding academic achievement awards for your chapter's student members.
Educational Spaces: Providing grants for chapter house study rooms, technology upgrades, and library improvements.
Leadership Development: Covering registration and travel for fratres to attend national leadership programs.
Health & Safety: Sponsoring campus programs on topics such as mental health, wellness, and safety.
Celebrating Our Scholars
The Sigma Alpha Mu Foundation is proud to announce the 2026 Scholarship Recipients. This year, we awarded more than $278,000 in total student aid to over 200 students. These fratres and students represent the highest ideals of scholarship and service.
Special Distinction: Glazer Family Jewish Studies Recipients
