The Foundation established the Founders Memorial Scholarships in 1970 to annually honor the Fraternity’s four outstanding junior undergraduate members who exemplify academic excellence and the leadership skills demonstrated by the Fraternity’s founders. In 2009, each of the Founders Memorial Scholarships is valued at $12,000. Each undergraduate Theta chapter nominates a member for this honor, and four of the nominees will be chosen to receive a Founders Memorial Scholarship. Congratulations to this year's nominees!
