The
Alumni scholarship applications were reviewed. Three applications were received. The alumni members awarded a $100 scholarship to each of the applicants. A letter and certificate will be presented to each recipient at the Chapter Banquet.

item verifying GPA be hand written, filled in by the school counselor and signed as such by the counselor. Discussion was also conducted concerning whether the GPA should be reported on a weighted scale or nonweighted
