Scholarship

At the Samekh Chapter, academics are the first priority in fraternity life. There are standards that all brothers in the chapter must meet, which ensures that Acacia maintains a good relationship with the college as well as alumni. This is highly achievable because all Acacia brothers are offered everthing they need to succeed academically.

 

 

Scholarship Offerings:

Many of the scholarships offered by the scholarship chair are accesible to all brothers, and generally take academic standing into account. There is also a scholarship available to all incoming first year students to Purdue, called the Acacia Leadership Scholarship. Please see the Letter to Incoming Freshman and the Scholarship Application if you are interested. There are three $1000 scholarships available to highly qualified graduating high school seniors or Purdue sophomores. This can either be submitted by mail, hand delivered to the house, or scanned and emailed to chath@purdue.edu. Please have applications in by Friday September 19th. See the contact page for any other questions.

Scholarship Chair:

Scholarship is so important to Acacia Fraternity that there is a house position specifically dedicated to ensuring all brothers have an equal opportunity to score high marks. This brother is responsible for hosting study tables twice a week, which are open to all brothers but required for those who have falenl below chapter standards. The scholarship chair also distributes pertinant scholarships to all of the eligible brothers, and can also offer incentives for good scores on exams or tests, such as gift certificates. Academics also play a heavy role in the chapter point system, as well as incentives offered by the alumni advisors of our chapter.
