Scholarship

Because we are an honor society, scholarship is a critical factor for admission into the society. Our members represent the top twenty percent of their respective classes and tend to maintain academic excellence throughout their college careers.  We require that once inducted, the members do not drop below the top thirty percent of their classmates.

Scholarships are offered on the state level. Each year applicants submit their information at the State Convention. Any member from each of the six chartered schools in Alabama may apply. A scholarship committee is comprised of volunteers from schools who did not have any applicants. They review the applications and render their decision at the National Convention, usually two months following the State Convention, at the State Caucus. The Troy Dothan Chapter has been fortunate in recent years to have a winner from its membership.
