Educational Development

Each year, local Delta Chapters conduct projects designed to address the community’s concerns about excellence in education. On a national level, Delta’s pursuit of educational excellence takes the form of scholarships and grants to individual members and local chapters. Scholarships to members underwrite individual studies in law, communications, and science on both the undergraduate and graduate levels. Grants to local chapters subsidize locally-sponsored programs in career education, financial and many other educational areas.

The Madison Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. will award a limited number of scholarships, in the amount of $1,500 each, to graduating African American male and female high school seniors. Scholarships will be awarded in three categories:

  1. Academic: Scholarships awarded in this category will be based primarily on the students’ academic record, including GPA, ACT/SAT scores, and class rigor. 
  2. Community Service: Scholarships awarded in this category will be based primarily on the students’ record of community service.
  3. Leadership: Scholarships awarded in this category will be based primarily on the students’ leadership roles in both school and community.
