			 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.
