Step-By-Step Guide to Establishing a Chapter’s Scholarship Program


Once you and the Executive Board and/or the Scholarship Team have determined your chapter’s scholarship strengths and needs, you can implement this step-by-step plan for effective scholarship programming.

1. If your chapter does not have a Scholarship Team, establish one to assist you with scholarship programming and in meeting the academic need of the chapter.
2. Utilize the support and expertise of your Advisors with all programming.
3. Facilitate a chapter’s goal setting session.
4. Create and provide scholarship incentives and resources for members.
5. Create and provide as many opportunities as possible to recognize the academic achievements of members.
6. Provide programs and resources that meet the needs of individual members, such as distributing handouts on time management or presenting study tips at each meeting.
7. Plan scholarship programs that encourage the entire chapter’s participation.
8. Evaluate your scholarship budget and look for ways to increase these funds if necessary.
