service, campus involvement, work experience and personal interview. The scholarships will
attempt to reward students who have demonstrated commitment to their communities and
pursued outside interests while achieving academic success.

school. Students today must not only be prepared to lead people and organizations but also
demonstrate strong academic standing in their chosen field of study. Delta Sigma Phi promotes

No. The Man of Achievement Scholarship is available to any man who is a graduating senior
and plans to attend the University of Missouri-Columbia. However, to receive the scholarship a
student must not have joined ANOTHER fraternity. He will receive it as a non-fraternity member
or as a member of Delta Sigma Phi.
