Scholarship

Grover Honorable Gentleman Award.

Lambda Iota Fraters,

Marie and I are offering a $100.00 scholarship for this semester to any lambda Iota TEKE. We are looking for a short description about how you represent the TEKE principles in your life. We also want to know what you have done for the chapter, and what you will do for TEKE in the future. All entrees must be post marked no later than 1 October 2010. The winner will be presented a check to be used as the winner sees fit. I hope you all apply for the scholarship, because I want to keep offering this to my beloved fraters in the future. Marie and I will be fair in our decision on the winner, and we will not pick a frater based on any relations I may have developed with that frater in the past. All applications will be graded fairly. My goal is to help grow our members into quality men that are proud to be a TEKE. I hope the winner feels what charity is like and never forgets the men at the Lambda Iota Chapter of Tau Kappa Epsilon.

My Address is
