The Scholarship Honors Certificate originated in 1958 in order to recognize brothers for outstanding scholastic achievement. The calculations are based upon the GPA attained during the current academic year. In the case of the non-traditional grading systems, recommendations from their faculty during this time period are required. The certificate is issued by the Central Office following the request of the chapter’s Grand Council Deputy.
The Scholarship Tray Award is given to the Collegiate Chapter with the highest percentage of its eligible membership receiving Scholarship Honors Certificates in the academic year in question.
