Middle States Region Scholarships 2009
Alumni Transfer Scholarship
Several years ago the Middle States Alumni piloted a special scholarship program. The program consisted of all alumni chapters and undergraduate chapters contributing to a scholarship fund that was awarded at our Regional Convention. Over the past years the scholarship has grown from $750 to $1,000. Since the chartering of the Middle States Regional Alumni Association there has been a push for fund-raising on a grander scale. The hope is to begin a scholarship foundation as well as offer additional scholarships.
