It was established in November of 1977. The Society has chapters at more than 200 major colleges and universities in the United States and Australia. The amount of the scholarships vary and depend on the number of people who join. Two scholarships are awarded, one to junior and one to a senior. For every person who joins, two dollars are taken from the fee.
All new inductees are eligible for the scholarships.
However, you are only eligible for undergraduate scholarships the year you join. The selection is based initially on grade point average and then on leadership, extracurricular activities, work experience, community service, etc. Participation is voluntary, however, there are a number of wonderful opportunties for members to get involved.
