Delta Pi Scholarships

Giving back is a way to show appreciation for the past, while demonstrating vision for the future. And what better way to give back than by creating scholarships that honor both outstanding individuals in our organization and some of our most cherished principles for brotherhood.

As you scroll down, you will see the various scholarships Delta Pi has had the forethought and tenacity to create for our brotherhood over the years. They are listed at right in order, from newest to oldest.

Note:  Driven by shifting perceptions and policies of the Greek community at Bloomsburg University, the DPSPAA no longer actively funds our endowment with The Bloomsburg University Foundation.  Rather, we are strategically directing new donations dollars to our own 501.c3, “The Delta Pi / Sigma Pi Scholarship Foundation” as detailed on the next pages. 

We feel we have always done a good job with our scholarships, but that we have also learned some things along the way, and our latest efforts are our best efforts.
