The Balanced Man Scholarship is one way that the Georgetown University Chapter of Sigma Phi Epsilon promotes the Balanced Man ideal. The Balanced Man Scholarship enables our chapter to recognize outstanding men who exemplify our philosophy by living balanced lives and striving for excellence in every endeavor amidst the very challenging Georgetown academic environment. We find that qualified Balanced Man Scholarship applicants make great potential members because their personal ideals and aspirations are already congruent with SigEp's. However, the Balanced Man Scholarship is awarded based on merit alone and the applicants need not join the Georgetown Chapter in order to win.
The winner will be determined based on their overall commitment to the pursuit of a Sound Mind in a Sound Body. Emphasis is placed on academics, athletic involvement, leadership experience, and community service. The application process includes two stages. After initial applications are submitted, a brief phone interview will take place. From this greater pool of applicants, a smaller group will be selected as finalists and will be awarded a final interview.
The Balanced Man Scholarship will not be awarded in the spring of 2011 due to a refocus on other recruitment tools. Please check back in during the fall 2011 recruitment cycle for information about the Balanced Man Scholarship at that time.
The Application and Selection Criteria from spring 2010 can be downloaded from the bottom of this page for individuals interested in future scholarships.
