A Special Message for Alumni Volunteers and Staff

Brother and Staff,

Please note: We recently updated the application portal link due to a technical issue with the previous one. Our apologies for any frustration this may have caused. If you experienced trouble accessing the portal, please use the updated link below.

Please notify your chapter(s) that the Sigma Chi Foundation's 2026-2027 academic scholarship applications will be available on Wednesday, February 11, at 12 p.m. (CT) and will have a submission deadline of Wednesday, May 6, 2026, at 11:59 p.m. (CT).

Foundation scholarships are available only to active members in good standing of Sigma Chi – undergraduate and graduate, and sweethearts for our Chapter Sweetheart award.

Effective July 1, 2023, any initiated member who does not complete the R4L program within 90 days from their initiation will be ineligible to receive a scholarship from the Sigma Chi Foundation. Please contact Ryan Wakefield, Managing Director of Chapter Support and Enhancement, if you have any questions via email or (847) 425-4497.

Please visit the Foundation's website for an overview of the scholarship program, including donor scholar awards.

The Foundation awards scholarships to undergraduate and postgraduate brothers as part of our goal to promote academic excellence and lifelong learning. The Foundation seeks to recognize brothers who demonstrate outstanding character in action, academic achievement and commitment to their chapters, campuses and communities.

All scholarships are made possible through the generous donations of your Sigma Chi alumni brothers, families and friends of the Foundation.
