Sigma Phi Educational Foundation

In addition to the Viele Scholarship, the Sigma Phi Educational Foundation awards a $1,000 annual grant to the Sigma Phi chapter with the highest collective annual GPA and a $1,000 grant to the chapter with the most improved GPA. 

​

The Educational Foundation also reimburses members for the cost of their key when inducted into any of several nationally recognized honor societies.

​

Each year the Foundation invites undergraduate brothers to compete in the annual Hicks Oratorical Contest, a highlight of our national convention. Winners of the contest receive a cash prize of $400 as recognition of their public speaking prowess. Wisconsin Sigs are frequent winners of the Hicks contest.

​

Finally, to promote both effective writing skills and engagement with alumni, the Educational Foundation offers a $1,000 award to the chapter judged to have produced the best newsletter .

​

In the past, successful brothers have offset a significant portion of the cost of their annual dues and room rent through Sigma Phi’s various scholarships and awards.
