OMEGA PSI PHI FRATERNITY, INC
ALPHA IOTA IOTA CHAPTER, PLANO, TX
SCHOLARSHIP APPLICATION
The Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc., is an international organization of men organized November 17, 1911, at Howard University. The founders of this prestigious organization envisioned a national organization that would unite thousands of young men in aim, thought, and loyalty. The selected name of the organization when translated means “friendship is essential to the soul.” Manhood, Scholarship, Perseverance, and Uplift are the cardinal principles under which this fraternity operates. Today, the Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc., has a brotherhood of men operating in most U.S. cities and countries abroad. These chapters of the fraternity intend to practice the above-mentioned cardinal principles through community uplift, economic development, and service to others.
The North Dallas Chapter of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc., (Alpha Iota Iota Chapter) will award scholarships to deserving college bound high school seniors (male or female) who exemplify the ideals and cardinal principles of our beloved fraternity. Scholarship winners will be judged on academic achievement, extracurricular activities, community involvement and financial need. Traditionally, this Chapter has attempted to focus its efforts on high schools that operate in the northern sector of the Metroplex.
The deadline for receiving all applications is March 20, 2017.
