The Alpha Iota Chapter of Sigma Pi Fraternity announced two new scholarships available to eligible high school students who plan to attend Missouri University of Science and Technology during the 2021-22 academic school year.
The Richard “Rich” and Ruth Swanson Memorial Scholarship will be available to an incoming freshman in the amount of $5,000. Applicants must provide an official high school transcript and submit an application, along with an essay describing their intended path of study, career ideas, and a time when they faced and overcame adversity.
Rich Swanson was a member of Sigma Pi and the scholarship is established in memory to him thanks to a gift from the couple.
The Dr. Richard “Dick” Miller Scholarship will be available for up to two future Missouri S&T students at a potential amount of $1,500 each. Applicants must provide an official high school transcript and submit an application, along with an essay describing how they have demonstrated and exemplified the following criteria during their high school careers: diligence in maintaining good scholarship; demonstration of leadership/mentorship in the community by participation in school or community organizations/activities; participation and volunteering in worthy philanthropic activities.
This scholarship was established to honor Miller for his service as faculty advisor to the Sigma Pi Fraternity at Missouri S&T in Rolla from 1988-2010.
All applications need to be submitted by May 31. Applicants are also encouraged to provide two references. These awards will be given through the university and recipients will be honored during a luncheon in September. For more information, visit www.sigmapi-mst.org/scholarships.
It is not a requirement that the applicant be a member, or intend to join, the Alpha Iota Chapter of Sigma Pi Fraternity.
