The Bruce B. Melchert Scholarship is awarded to a collegiate member displaying academic achievement. Recipients must be someone who exemplifies outstanding leadership within the chapter, having served as Recruitment Chair, Prytanis or in other major officer positions in the chapter. Preferred applicants are also a leader in IFC or other campus organizations. The applicant must be pursuing an undergraduate degree in political science or government and have a goal to serve people in a political or governmental service position. Preference will first be given to a member of the Beta-Theta chapter, but if there is no qualified applicant, the scholarship will be open to any other qualified Teke. All of the TKE Foundation leadership and scholarship awards are for the benefit of active collegiate members of Tau Kappa Epsilon Fraternity as defined by The Black Book Article VI Section 2 unless otherwise specified.
