AFA Annual Meeting Scholarships
The Association of Fraternity/Sorority Advisors Foundation is pleased to offer several scholarships for members to attend the 2009 Annual Meeting to be held December 6-10 in Jacksonville, Florida. Annual Meeting attendees value the opportunities for professional development and networking at the conference, and the generosity of our donors makes it possible for more people to take advantage of those opportunities.
There are several new sponsored and endowed scholarships in 2009:
- The Alpha Epsilon Pi Foundation is sponsoring a scholarship for one campus-based professional member affiliated with a campus that has an Alpha Epsilon Pi chapter.
|
- Gamma Sigma Alpha has endowed the “Beth Saul Gamma Sigma Alpha Scholarship” to honor Beth, the former Executive Director of Gamma Sigma Alpha. Their scholarship is for a campus-based professional member affiliated with a campus that has a Gamma Sigma Alpha chapter.
|
- AFA member Blake Bradley has endowed the “Marlin-Bradley Ally Scholarship” in memory of Leslie Kay Marlin, an alumna of the OE chapter of Delta Zeta Sorority, for the support she provided to members of the fraternity/sorority community who were members of the GLBT community. To embody the true spirit of Leslie, this scholarship has been established by Blake to reward those outstanding professional and graduate members of AFA that strive to create fraternity/sorority chapters and/or communities where all members, regardless of their sexual orientation, are welcome as equals.

- The AFA Foundation is grateful for ALL of our scholarship sponsors. If you are interested in sponsoring or endowing a scholarship, please contact Tom Jelke, Foundation Chairman, or the AFA Foundation office at foundation@fraternityadvisors.org.
