Scholarship

Recognizing Outstanding Achievement

Phi Mu Foundation recognizes outstanding academic achievement through awards programs, such as a silver charm for members who achieve a 4.0 for a semester, and provides over $100,000 in scholarships each year for undergraduate and graduate members who excel academically.

Letter from the Academic Excellence Chair

My name is Kaitlyn Delcambre, and I am the Academic Excellence Chairwoman for Phi Mu’s Alpha Eta chapter at Louisiana State University. I am so incredibly thankful to be given the opportunity to serve this chapter and guide our members to excel academically. Here at Phi Mu, academics is one of our top priorities. We emphasize the significance of academic excellence not only as a chapter member, but also as a strong woman outside of Phi Mu. We encourage each member to strive to be their best self academically, and we offer numerous resources and opportunities to help them throughout their time in Phi Mu.   

One of the resources that I operate is weekly study nights where our busy and lively house goes silent so that everyone can focus on their studies. I have also created major-specific group chats where members can create connections and discuss with other members who are in their major. In addition to these resources, I also alert the chapter of any scholarship opportunities, connect members to tutors if they are in need, keep scholarship records of each member, and send grade and activity reports to our national headquarters. I also reward members who have done outstanding academically. Each week, one member is highlighted for receiving an A on an exam and rewarded with a gift card, and every semester, members who earned a 3.75 and 4.0 GPA are rewarded with a dinner to celebrate this accomplishment. 

Our hard work as a chapter has definitely been shown. In the Fall 2022 semester, 61 members earned a 4.0+ GPA and 52 members earned a 3.75+ GPA. Our chapter cumulative GPA was 3.45, and our new members earned the highest cumulative GPA down the row with a 3.505. We are so proud of our chapter members, and we hope to continue to accomplish our academic goals!

With love,

Kaitlyn Delcambre
