Scholarships
National Scholarship:  The National program offers 39 awards ranging from $500 to $2000.

Local Scholarship:  The local program is administered by the Alpha Iota Chapter with one award for $600 and a second award for $1,000.

Both types of awards are available to all students registered in business programs at Athens State University. In addition, the local chapter awards are available to junior college students transferring to Athens State University by the following Fall Term. Awards are based on scholastic achievement, leadership qualities, character, motivation, need, and potential.

Applicants need not be members of Delta Mu Delta. Graduating seniors may qualify for awards to be used in graduate studies in business; however, the application must be made while attending Athens State. The odds of winning an award are very high. Historically, one in four applicants win an award.

The application procedure is fairly simple to complete. A completed application form, an official transcript of college credits and at least two letters of recommendation are required. The application packet must be submitted by March 1 of each year for consideration. Please submit the completed packets to both the National Delta Mu Delta at Delta Mu Delta Honor Society, 9217 Broadway Ave., Brookfield IL 60513-1251 and submit the local to Athens State University, Attn: Dr. Brenda Harper, 300 North Beaty Street, Athens Alabama 35611.
