About the Educational Foundation

The Sigma Pi Educational Foundation is a charitable and educational tax-exempt organization, separate and independent from the Fraternity, whose express purpose is to serve as an educational funding resource for the undergraduate and graduate student members of the Sigma Pi Fraternity. Through leadership initiatives such as Sigma Pi University, the Mid-Year Leadership Conference, and grants to the NIC Undergraduate Inter fraternity Institute, the Sigma Pi Educational Foundation is preparing our young men to be the New Generation of Leaders to guide us in the 21st century.

Mission

The Sigma Pi Educational Foundation is dedicated to advancing the ideals of Sigma Pi Fraternity.  To support these ideals, the Sigma Pi Educational Foundation provides scholarships, grants, and educational programming to members of the fraternity.
