Scholarships


  Alpha Gamma Sigma prides itself in its members. Scholarships are offered to encourage and promote academic excellence and community service and to honor those with most outstanding achievements in the chapter.

  Scholarships are to recognize exceptional members. Scholarships therefore reward members who plan out their participation in activities from early on and help actively in community and AGS fundraising events.

  The following scholarships are available:

  • Outstanding Service Scholarship

  • The AGS scholarship committee has always taken into account the volunteer involvement of its members. Service is the primary determining factor for this scholarship, while maintaining scholastic achievement.

  • Outstanding Scholastic Achievement Scholarship

  • The cumulative Grade Point Average is the primary consideration for the awarding of this scholarship. Service will also be a determining factor in the consideration process.

  • Outstanding Community Volunteer Scholarship

  • This scholarship will reward and give recognition to the student who has shown outstanding volunteer service to the community. Demonstrating a commitment of at least 2 hours per week to an approved organization/person throughout the semester is desirable.
