Delta Eta Boulé Scholarship Program

 

Delta Eta Boulé Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation organized in 1998. It is the fund raising arm of Delta Eta Boulé commonly known as “The Boule.” Delta Eta is the Denver chapter of Sigma Pi Phi Fraternity, the oldest African American fraternity in the country.

The Delta Eta Boulé Scholarship Program (DEB-SP) enables under-served students with financial need to achieve their greatest potential through higher education. DEB-SP is offered to those high school students residing in the Denver metropolitan area and enrolled in an accredited college.

DEB-SP believes that supporting African American scholars will enable these students to focus on their studies rather than the rising cost of tuition and expenses.

The funding for each Boulé Scholar varies per year however the average award is $3,000 the first year, and an additional $1,000 per year for the next 3 years.
