Oregon Gamma Scholarship Endowed
The women of Oregon Gamma recently made a
pledge of $50,000 to the Pi Beta Phi Foundation to endow the Oregon Gamma
Undergraduate Scholarship Fund. This scholarship gives first preference to
current members of the Oregon Gamma chapter. If there is no qualified Oregon
Gamma applicant, then the scholarship is available to any other Region 7
applicant qualified for Pi Beta Phi Foundation undergraduate scholarships. The
first Oregon Gamma Scholarship will be awarded next spring for the 2008-2009
academic year. Oregon Gamma’s scholarship is
an investment in the future of Pi Beta Phi and creates a legacy for their
chapter.

academic year will be available online in the fall of 2008 and must be postmarked no later than January 31, 2009.
Sign of the Arrow Melissa Scholarship
The Sign of the Arrow Melissa Scholarship was
created and endowed by the Sign of the Arrow/St. Louis Alumnae Club in memory of
Missouri Beta Melissa Gail Aptman. Melissa was murdered in 1995, just two weeks
before her graduation from Washington University in St. Louis. The scholarship
was created not only in memory of Melissa, but also to remember and celebrate
Melissa’s life and her commitment to community service.
The Sign of the Arrow
Melissa Scholarship provides for an undergraduate scholarship of up to $10,000.
The scholarship is awarded to an undergraduate member of Pi Beta Phi entering
her senior year, who displays exemplary community service.
If you are a Pi Phi,
currently in your junior year and have outstanding community service, we
strongly encourage you to apply.
If you know of a Pi Phi,
currently in her junior year and who has outstanding community service, please
encourage her to apply.
Often it is those who give
the most, who believe they deserve the least.
