Introduction

Conceived in 1994, the McComas Scholars program affords deserving undergraduate brothers from chapters firmly committed to our Fraternity's mission and vision the opportunity to experience Balfour Leadership Training Workshop.

Through a generous gift to the Sigma Chi Foundation by the 58th Grand Consul Murray McComas (Pennsylvania 1958), selected chapters will receive one additional funded position (registration for one additional brother from the chapter will be covered), as well as a $200 travel stipend.

The selection committee commends your chapter for its interest in the McComas Scholars Program and looks forward to reviewing your application and seeing you at Workshop.

Criteria for the award

The chapter must be in good standing with forms and fees (including payment plans) owed to the Fraternity

Any delegation larger than four men must include one brother from the sophomore class (please identify the Sophomore in the space provided in the delegation section)

Consideration will be granted to those chapters with limited financial resources, which must be verified by the chapter's Grand Praetor or Chapter Advisor

Previous recipients of the McComas Scholarship must show how thier chapter benefited as a result of the award

In order for a chapter to receive the McComas scholarship check (presented at the conclusion of Workshop), the chapter's entire delegation must attend all sessions of Workshop. The McComas selection committee will use the same criteria as used for the travel reimbursement stipend to determine the chapter's eligibility.
