High School Seniors
Each year, Theta Epsilon Omega Chapter awards a four-year scholarship, totaling up to $4,000, to two (2) graduating seniors in the top third of his or her class. Other eligibility requirements include: a completed application; an official transcript with ACT or SAT scores; a letter of recommendation from the student's guidance counselor and teacher of an academic subject; and a typewritten autobiographical essay.
Prior to receiving the scholarship, the applicant must verify acceptance to and attendance at an accredited post-secondary university or college. The student must also maintain a C+ average throughout college to keep the scholarship. The children of Theta Epsilon Omega Chapter members are ineligible to apply.
The availability of applications are announced each year in February and are normally due in April. Please check this website's homepage for the announcement and to download the application.
College Students
Theta Epsilon Omega Chapter has established the Susan Moore Lincoln Scholarship in honor of the former Gateway Community College Dean of Students' contributions to the college and the Greater New Haven community. The scholarship is valued at one half of the full-time tuition for the spring and fall semesters at Gateway Community College. Eligibile applicants must be a female student of African descent, accepted or enrolled in the college's nursing program. The minimum GPA is 3.00 and the applicant must demonstrate a financial need. Please contact the the Gateway Community College Foundation, Inc. at 203-285-2617 for a scholarship application.
In recent years, Theta Epsilon Omega has been fortunate to increase the amount of the scholarship because of excellent fundraising years. We owe that to you for your support at our various fundraising events. As our application pool shows, there are many deserving students that need scholarships to help pay for their college education, and it is our hope to increase our fundraising dollars to expand our reach. Please donate to Theta Epsilon Omega Chapter's scholarship program to help deserving youth secure a better future.
