Established in 1993, the fund reached permanent endowment level status ($25,000) in 1999 and began disbursing $1,000 scholarships to Alpha Omega Undergraduate Brothers.We began our 40th Anniversary Year in 2006 with a cumulative contribution balance of slightly more than $77,000. During the course of the year, individual contributions and the proceeds of the Silent Auction at last year's Pig Dinner added more than $23,000 to this fund to bring us slightly over the $100,000 Goal! Brothers who have made cumulative contributions of $500 or more automatically become members of the AOGA Tuition Scholarship Selection Committee.Undergraduate Brothers interested in applying for these scholarships can obtain an application on the Alpha Omega Website by clicking here. The deadline for submitting applications to The Phi Gamma Delta Educational Foundation for the 2007 scholarship awards is May 30, 2007.

    If you would like to participate in 2007 by making a contribution to the Alpha Omega Scholarship Endowment, please make your check out to: The Phi Gamma Educational Foundation and be sure to write "Ohio University Chapter" in the memo portion of the check. Contributions should be sent to: The Phi Gamma Educational Foundation, 1201 Red Mile Road, PO Box 4599, Lexington, KY 40544-4599.

    Very Special Thanks to David F. Slater '67 who worked tirelessly, not only in our 40th Anniversary Year, but since the creation of our Scholarship Endowment Fund in September 1993, for all of his efforts in fundraising for, and nurturing this fund to, its present level!

    And, Heartfelt Thanks to all Scholarship Endowment Contributors for their fraternal support and generosity in making this goal a reality!!
