The TKE Delta Nu Active Members Scholarship is available to any active member of TKE Delta Nu in good standing that meets the criteria for the scholarship programs.  The most recent award was given for the Fall 2022 – 2023 academic year. 

The names of the winners would have their name placed on the GPA Shield prominently displayed in the House each semester.

The fund for the TKE Delta Nu Active Members Scholarship was established by Delta Nu in 1989 through the Northwest Foundation and is still the only scholarship fund from a Northwest fraternity.

Scholarship Award Program 2022-23 School Year  Awarded by the TKE Alumni Association through The Northwest Foundation Inc.

Delta-Nu Chapter of Tau Kappa Epsilon offers scholarship awards through tax deductible contributions received from TKE alumni and friends of the Delta-Nu Chapter of TKE to The Northwest Foundation Inc.

The TKE Delta-Nu Actives Scholarship Committee has decided to broaden the scope of the scholarship fund to reward more than one or two members of the fraternity.  The committee aims to better serve the scholarship fund donors and to support the fraternity’s purpose and mission of fostering academic success to all who qualify.

The goal of the committee is to achieve the following:

  • Increase awareness to potential new members, actives and alumni of the TKE scholarship fund held with The Northwest Foundation Inc.
  • Develop an ongoing financial support system to get regular funding from TKE alumni to support the TKE Delta-Nu Actives Scholarship Fund, working toward a fully endowed scholarship fund.
  • Reward multiple active Delta-Nu Tekes for excelling academically.
  • Reward recipients for commitment to the chapter by: living the values of the fraternity, living in the TKE House, setting an example for good scholarship habits at the house and taking a regular active role in the chapter and campus leadership positions, chapter activities and programs.

Scholarship Types and Criteria:

    • Provide a scholarship of an amount to be determined each year by the scholarship chair (in consultation with the chapter advisor). The amounts may be greater for members whose cumulative GPA’s are significantly above the threshold of 3.0 (e.g., 3.50 or above). For the Fall 2022/Spring 2023 school year, these amounts are to be $700 for those with GPA’s of 3.00 to 3.49 and $1,000 for those with GPA’s or 3.50 or above. Individual Named Scholarships funded by individual Delta Nu fraters will also be awarded.  An undergrad can only qualify for a single scholarship and both these scholarships will be awarded 50% of the amount the first semester and 50% the second semester provided recipient ios in compliance with the requirements.
    • For members who meet all of the criteria for consecutive years, provide additional scholarship amounts that will be determined each year by the scholarship chair and the chapter advisor. For the Fall 2022/Spring 2023 school year, these amounts are to be $200 additional for someone who meets the criteria for the second year, and $300 for someone who meets the criteria for three or more years.

Funds are allocated at the beginning of the semester following the release of the GPA report.  Note: Any member who meets the criteria for only the Fall semester is only eligible for one half of the stated amounts.  For example, someone who graduates or leaves to student teach after the Fall semester would only be eligible for ½ the above amounts.
