Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc. has an established tradition of rewarding students who have the intellect and desire to pursue a higher education. In 2019, the Alpha Nu Sigma Chapter of Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc. will support the academic efforts of our youth by awarding scholarships to area high school male seniors.
Our perpetual scholarships are targeted toward, but not limited to students of color who have demonstrated scholarly endeavors, citizenship and commitment to serving humanity. The selection process is also sensitive to students with financial need.
The award is $1,000 per academic year and will be disbursed prior to the beginning of fall semester. The scholarship is not intended to pay a student’s entire tuition, but to help lessen the student’s financial burden.
We look forward to receiving those applications from students who aspire to challenge their minds at an institution of higher learning.
