Academic Scholarships

Empowering Achievement

The Tri Sigma Foundation has awarded over half a million dollars in scholarship aid to members. The Foundation provides annual graduate and undergraduate scholarships to deserving alumnae and collegians. The Foundation offers both merit- and needs-based scholarships to recognize outstanding achievement and relieve the rising costs of higher education.

The scholarship application is open to collegiate and alumnae members pursuing undergraduate or graduate degrees. Awards range from $500-$5,000. Members fill out one application to be considered for all available scholarships. The application opens each spring, and awards are distributed at the beginning of the fall semester.

The scholarship application for 2025-2026 will open in late January.

Who can apply?

Any Tri Sigma collegiate or alumnae member in good standing is eligible to apply for a scholarship.

Members must be enrolled or accepted for enrollment as a full-time student at an accredited college or university. Proof of enrollment is required before a scholarship grant is issued.

Applicants cannot be a current employee or Board member of the Tri Sigma Foundation, member of Tri Sigma’s Executive Council, or a relative of these individuals at the time of the scholarship award.

Do I need letters of recommendation?

How are awards determined?

Award amounts are based on available funding and range from $500-$5,000.

No preference will be given to any applicant because of age, race, religion, sexual preference, economic status or ethnic origin, donor status, nor will preference by given to National Officers, other past/present volunteers, or past/present chapter officers.

A committee of Tri Sigma Board members and volunteers scores applications and makes recommendations for awards based on merit, adherence to specific eligibility requirements, and demonstrated need. Award recipients and amounts are approved by the Foundation Board of Directors.
