Scholarships

The Florida Chi Academic Scholarship Program

Our goal is to provide financial assistance and encourage the focus of education with the undergraduate brothers of the Florida Chi Chapter.  With this intent, the Florida Chi Alumni Association of Sigma Alpha Epsilon in Tampa Bay, Inc. has founded scholarship funds with the financial support of generous Florida Chi alumni.

​

The focus of this program centers on the Florida Chi undergraduate brothers of Sigma Alpha Epsilon who display the most outstanding academic achievement. Each applicant must show enthusiastic commitment to the highest ideals expressed in “The True Gentleman.” Exceptional personal integrity, chapter events, campus activities, and philanthropic service are encouraged. 

​

The annual scholarship is offered to the top 3 academic undergraduate brothers of the Florida Chi chapter at the University of Tampa.
