TTU Kappa Sigma Memorial Scholarship Fund

​

The TTU Kappa Sigma Alumni Association established the Kappa Sigma Memorial Scholarship Fund in September 1999. This endowed scholarship fund was created to provide annual scholarships for dedicated and academically deserving members of the Kappa Mu Chapter at Tennessee Technological University. Within the scholarship fund, separate scholarships have been named to memorialize members of the Kappa Sigma Fraternity. 

Contributions
Contributors may donate money, securities, or other assets to the endowment at any time. All contributions are made directly to Tennessee Technological University’s Office of University Advancement, who will acknowledge receipt of your tax-exempt charitable donation. These funds are invested under the direction of the University’s Chief Fiscal Officer in a manner that will provide for the highest possible return while preserving the security of the fund. Because your donation is a qualifying contribution to a tax-exempt organization, you are eligible for participation in your employer’s matching gifts program, if available. Each contribution may be designated to a specific scholarship within the endowment. Undesignated contributions will be housed in the general scholarship fund until enough funds are cumulated for the creation of an additional scholarship.

Scholarships
At the end of each calendar year, the TTU Development Council will designate a percentage of the endowment to be awarded in the form of scholarships. TTU will also provide the Kappa Sigma Memorial Fund Trustees with a financial statement that includes the aggregate amount contributed to each scholarship fund within the endowment. From this information, the Trustees will calculate the amount available for each scholarship for the coming year. The Office of Financial Aid will administer the scholarship program and select the recipients from a list of qualified candidates provided by the Memorial Fund Trustees. The TTU Kappa Sigma Alumni Association will announce the recipients in the summer of each year, with the scholarships awarded at registration the following fall semester.

​

Named Scholarships
There are currently three named scholarships within the fund;  each with a specific criteria and award as outlined below.  Donations may be designated  towards one of these named scholarships.  

​

General Scholarship Fund
Funds may be donated to the endowment without an individual scholarship designation and will be listed under the General Scholarship Fund. These funds will accrue under the general fund with the earnings distributed equitably to each existing scholarship. The funds may also be used in the future to assist in the creation and awarding of additional named scholarships.
