Growing Scholarship Support
The Alpha Sigma Tau Foundation awarded $73,000 in scholarships to 39 recipients for the 2025-2026 academic year! Scholarships not only provide financial support and instill academic confidence in our Sisters, but are a critical reason why Sisters return to school and complete their degrees.
Donors Making a Difference
We are thrilled to announce that Kathy Orrison Sharp (Alpha Alpha 1966/Ball State) has made an additional commitment to her scholarship. This expanded support will allow for increased awards to future recipients.
The Kathleen Orrison Sharp Scholarship is reserved for members who are enrolled in an accredited institution of higher education in a degree-seeking program; enrolled in an institution in the state of Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, or Minnesota; and demonstrate actions and advocacy of a socially conscious citizen engaging in animal welfare and/ or environmental preservation.
Earlier this year, Joell Sperry (Gamma Theta 2004/Penn State Behrend), who is currently serving her second term as a National Council Vice President, approached the Foundation with a desire to increase her impact on and give back to her collegiate chapter.
She wanted to ensure the next generation of Gamma Theta women could thrive academically and decided to generously strengthen their existing chapter scholarship with an additional $15,000 pledge! Thanks to her generosity, Joell’s Gamma Theta Chapter Sisters will directly benefit from increased scholarship awards that ease financial burdens and provide greater stability as they pursue their dreams.
