Scholarship programs also identify minimum standards and provide opportunities for women who are struggling with their academic responsibilities. Invitation to membership in Alpha Sigma Alpha is based in part on high academic performance. In order to be considered a member, a woman who has completed one collegiate academic term must have 2.0 cumulative grade point average on a 4.0 scale. A woman who has not completed one term must have a 2.35 cumulative grade point average on a 4.0 scale in high school. All initiated members must maintain a 2.0 cumulative grade point average to realize all benefits and privileges of chapter membership.
Chapters strive as a whole to meet high scholastic standards.
Each chapter must maintain a 2.6 average on a 4.0 scale each semester to maintain good standing. Chapters who do not meet this requirement are placed on academic probation. Many of Alpha Sigma Alpha s chapters are ranked in the top quarter of sororities on their campuses. Nationally, the Alpha Sigma Alpha Foundation provides financial assistance through scholarships for collegiate and alumnae members and non-members. These scholarships are for both undergraduate and graduate education.
