Beta Gamma Sigma Scholarship

BGS Chapter Instructions

The BGS Scholarship Program will award a scholarship to each eligible Premier and Exemplary Chapter to be used during the 2013-2014 academic year.  The chapter will select one recipient using the procedures established locally and the forms provided by the Central Office.  A recipient of the scholarship must use the scholarship for senior or master's level study in a business degree program at a college or university with AACSB International accreditation during the 2013-2014 academic year.

The Beta Gamma Sigma Scholarship Application Form is to be fully completed by the student applicant/recipient and must include a written signature that is not typed. 

Who is Eligible to Compete for the BGS Scholarship?

Any current BGS member or student who will be invited to become a member during the 2012-2013 academic year and will be a degree seeking student enrolled in a business program at a college or university with AACSB International accreditation during the academic year following the announcement is eligible to compete in the BGS Scholarship Program.  In the case of a nominee who will be invited to join Beta Gamma Sigma during this semester, the scholarship award will be contingent upon acceptance of the membership invitation.  The recipient must use the scholarship in senior or master's level study.

How do collegiate chapters select their scholarship recipient?

Collegiate chapters may set their own procedures for selecting the scholarship recipient.  Some chapters hold a competition with outside judges while others award the scholarship based on their specified criteria.  However awarded, the recipient must complete the application form for submission to the Central Office.

A completed and signed Scholarship Application and photo for the chapter's scholarship recipient must be sent to the Central Office by the deadline date of May 15, 2013.

Award Distribution

A scholarship payment will be mailed to the Dean’s office for the scholarship recipient by August 1, 2013.  The College/University will award the 500 USD from Beta Gamma Sigma matched by 500 USD from the nominating college/university to the student.  Beta Gamma Sigma recommends that the award be deposited directly into the student’s school account so that it will be applied towards the recipient’s educational expenses.
