Dear Incoming Freshman or New
Student,
Welcome to Northwestern!
Hopefully you’re enjoying the last days of summer before arriving
on campus this fall.
Northwestern offers exceptional experiences… and one of them is Sigma
Phi Epsilon’s Excellence through Balance Scholarship (EBS).
SigEp awards more than $3,000
in total through this scholarship to three men and three women from the
freshman class who exemplify one of the signature tenets of SigEp:
balance.
The Excellence through Balance Scholarship awards students who
embody strong character , excellence in academics, athletics, and
leadership. The enclosed application asks you to focus on these four
points and tell us about yourself in a creative way.
We encourage you to complete the application electronically and
email it to
s-basak15@northwestern.edu.
However, if you would rather print the application, please mail
it to the above address. The
deadline to apply is October 5, 2007.
All applicants will be
contacted once we decide on semi-finalists.
Semi-finalists will then be invited to participate in a
one-on-one interview. From
these semi-finalists, finalists will be selected and interviewed one
more time. There will be an
award presentation and dinner for the finalists at the end of the
competition. This really is an amazing experience and we hope you
participate!
Participation in the
Excellence through Balance Scholarship is open to both men and women,
and does not bind male participants to membership in the fraternity.
Most importantly, good luck
this fall at NU! For more
information about the scholarship or SigEp, please feel free to call or
email us. Thank you for your
interest in the Excellence through Balance Scholarship.
We look forward to receiving your application and meeting you.
Sincerely,
SigEp EBS Co-Chairs
