2015-2016 ALPHA PI MU (APM) SCHOLARSHIPS
Alpha Pi Mu Scholarships are authorized by the APM Constitution. This year there will be four (4) $1,000
Named Scholarships, awarded at-large to outstanding APM members according to the overall qualifications
of applicants and the specific requirements that have been established for each scholarship.
The general criteria for each of the scholarships are the same as for initial consideration for APM
membership: excellence in scholarship, leadership, sociability, ethicality, and widespread interests.
The Robert D. Dryden APM Service Scholarship was established in memory of Bob Dryden who
served APM for more than four decades in several leadership positions. This scholarship will recognize
the applicant who best summarizes in the required essay how she/he served IIE, APM, and the IE
program through leadership, mentoring, recruitment, and/or retention activities.
The Wolter J. Fabrycky Industrial and Systems Engineering Scholarship was established to
emphasize the systems aspect of industrial engineering. Applicants must demonstrate understanding
and compliance with the systems requirement in their submitted essay.
The Paul E. Givens Diversity Scholarship was established in memory of Paul E. Givens and includes
the requirement that the applicant has contributed to diversity on campus through support activities for
underrepresented students.
The John L. Imhoff Globalization Scholarship was established in memory of John L. Imhoff and
includes the requirement that the applicant has demonstrated globalization initiatives, cooperation, and
understanding through leadership and related activities.
The following general requirements must be met for each of the above scholarships:
1. The applicant must be currently enrolled in an industrial engineering curriculum on November 15
and the following March 1.
2. The applicant must have been initiated into Alpha Pi Mu by December 31.
3. The application must contain substantiating information on the official application form.
Additional materials or alternate application forms will not be considered.
4. The application must include the names of the applicant, the department head, and the Alpha Pi Mu
faculty advisor.
5. The application must be emailed by the faculty advisor to the APM National Office no later than
November 15.
Chapters with more than 30 active members may submit up to three applications, chapters with 16 to 30
active members may submit up to two applications, and those with fewer than 16 active members may
submit only one application.
Participating chapters are responsible for collecting and submitting the completed application form(s) to
their faculty advisor. The faculty advisor and department head will then act as the chapter screening
committee to select the successful applicants if more than the eligible numbers are submitted. The faculty
advisor is responsible for forwarding the correct number of applications to the APM National Office by the
November 15 deadline (office@alphapimu.com).
Submitted applications will be evaluated by the Alpha Pi Mu Scholarship Committee of the Executive
Council and be reviewed by the Executive Council. The successful scholarship recipients will be
announced by March 1.
