Epsilon Pi Chapter of Sigma Nu Fraternity Scholarship Program

Scholarship Program

Uniquely, our chapter has established a substantial scholarship fund which benefits all members who meet specific criteria and provides additional support to those who apply for merit and need-based Honor awards. The grants are paid each quarter (fall, winter and spring) directly to the University to fully enrolled Brothers. For the 2024-245 academic year, our scholarship fund, the largest Greek-affiliated scholarship program in the country, has made $300,000 available in possible tuition support to undergraduate Brothers. Members can expect to receive quarterly benefits for meeting these criteria:

• Base Scholarship: all members in good standing – $250 ea.
• Upperclassmen Live-In Scholarship: all Junior/Senior members resident in fraternity house – $750 ea.
• Officer Scholarship: all Executive Committee members serving the chapter in elected roleswill split a quarterly pool of $15,000 at values recommended by the chapter Scholarship Chair 
• Academic Excellence Scholarship (paid fall & spring quarters): all members with 3.75+ cumulative GPA – $250 ea.

 

Members are encouraged to apply for Honor scholarships, which range from $10,000 to $1,000,and are determined by an alumni review committee each spring. The winner of our largest award, named for 1940’s alum Gerald L. Coffee, whose extraordinary life embodies the highest ideals of our fraternity, traditionally enables the recipient to enjoy a tuition-free academic year. 

Each fall, scholarship winners are celebrated in front of their peers, parents, and UCLA dignitaries at our Sigma Nu Honors event as part of UCLA’s Family Weekend

Scholarships winners are announced each fall at Sigma Nu Honors, an alumni-led event that reinforces the lifetime bond and support network enjoyed by members of the UCLA Fraternity.
