November 29, 2011]  A holiday open house at the Information Station is coming up on Friday, Dec. 2, from 2 to 5 p.m.

The alumni of Beta Sigma Psi, the national fraternity for Lutheran men, are pleased to offer the 24th annual Beta Sigma Psi Scholarship for the fall of 2012.

This $1,000 scholarship award will be given to a confirmed Lutheran freshman male beginning his college studies at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign campus, in the fall of 2012.

Beta Sigma Psi was founded in 1925 at the University of Illinois as a fraternity dedicated to helping Lutheran college men grow spiritually, scholastically and socially. The alumni members of this fraternity offer this scholarship to provide assistance to other young men attending the University of Illinois. The recipient will be under no obligation to become a member of Beta Sigma Psi, but he will receive information about the chapter. The due date to apply for the scholarship is Jan. 31.

For more information or to request a scholarship application, email the scholarship director, Alexander Johnson, at BSP_Scholarship@yahoo.com, or visit Beta Sigma Psi's website at www.alpha.betasigmapsi.org.
