Chapter Endowment Funds, Educational and Leadership Programs, Scholarships and Alumni Relations - those are just a few things that the Triangle Education Foundation funds that benefit Triangle to keep us a successful and growing fraternity! Chapter Endowment Funds are a way to provide direct support to our chapters for educational expenses they have. Chapters can use these funds for everything from 3D printers to paying for National Educational Programs. These grants help keep chapters strong by offering monies to pay for programs and opportunities that members may not otherwise have access to. The Foundation has a robust scholarship program that awards over $80,000 every year to undergraduate and graduate students! We also offer $10,000 in 0% interest, emergency student loans every year for those members that just need a little extra help finishing up the school year. We also help fund on-going educational and leadership training at our national events of Leadership Training Weekend and Herbert Scobie Leadership School. These in-person events offer members the opportunity to learn best practices on chapter management and effective leadership skills. Have you joined Triangle Connect?
