Kappa Sigma Scholarship at Elon University
Several years ago, many generous Lambda-Lambda Chapter alumni and friends of our fraternity provided seed funds to establish an important legacy -- the ‘Kappa Sigma Scholarship Fund’. As of 2008, the corpus value of our fund has grown to nearly $25,000 and is part of the institutionally managed scholarship endowment of Elon University.
Kappa Sigma became the first Greek-letter organization whose alumni formally endowed an academic scholarship for undergraduate brethren. Because this fund exists, Kappa Sigma undergrads who demonstrate both leadership prowess and academic integrity may apply for valuable scholarship awards that enable them to continue their academic pursuits.
Scholarships are available for award each academic year. Eligible undergraduates must apply for the award shortly after the Fall semester begins. The Scholarship Committee of the Lambda-Lambda Alumni Association reviews all candidate submissions and determines the winner(s) and the dollar amount(s) awarded. Formal announcement and presentation of the Scholarship Award(s) occurs during the Association's Annual Meeting held at Homecoming.
These are the undergraduate recipients:
Peter Donohoe #569 -- $400
Jason Purvis #559 -- $400
Grant Rash #552 -- $500

Each year, the earnings from the Kappa Sigma Scholarship Fund become available for distribution to qualifying undergraduate applicants. Our collective sponsorship of this scholarship fund is just one more reason why Kappa Sigma at Elon University continues to be the unqualified campus leader.
