In the aftermath of Hurricanes Andrew and Iniki, chapters requested that International form a new fund to help sisters who sustained considerable damage to home and property. Since that time, other natural disasters have prompted donations from sisters to this fund.
Money is distributed equally among the members needing assistance.
The number of scholarships granted each year depends on the earnings of the Scholarship Fund. The recipients of the scholarships may attend the college or university of their choice, as long as it is an accredited school. Students at any level of college may apply. The scholarship will be made to the school, but the student will specify how it is to be used. Standards for selection include scholastic standing, good character and citizenship, an autobiography written by the student outlining goals of study, and recommendations by school authorities and a chapter or city council.
