SCHOLARSHIP REPORTThe Sigma Alpha Mu Foundation

2

Dear Fratres and Friends:It is an honor to share with you this report about the Sigma Alpha Mu Foundation’s work to support access to higher education and recognize scholastic achievement. During the 2011-12 fiscal year we awarded 128 scholarships and 82 awards based on outstanding academic accomplishments. These scholarships and awards helped make a difference for 210 students on 49 campuses. All of this was made possible through generous contributions from loyal fratres and friends of Sigma Alpha Mu.

We are especially pleased to report the first three recipients of the Glazer Family Jewish Studies Scholarships were awarded this spring. This new fund offers schol-arships (currently $5000 each) to fratres pursuing a major or minor in Jewish Stud-ies who are active in the Jewish community. The Glazer Family Scholarships were created by Fras Irving and Jay Glazer of our Indiana University chapter.

The Sigma Alpha Mu Foundation awarded 36 percent more scholarship dollars in 2011-12 to 19 percent more qualified applicants than in 2010-11. This means we are awarding larger scholarships to more students. While we are making progress to ensure that no fratre has to leave school due to lack of funds, we are seeing increased need for financial assistance from student fratres.

Our work to help student fratres, and sometimes a son or daughter of a frater, is made possible by alumni and friends who support our endowed scholarship pro-gram. The following pages share just some of the stories of those students that we are striving to assist. Fraternally & Sincerely,

Aaron M. GirsonExecutive Vice President

Through the new Glazer Family Jewish Studies Scholarships, the ΣAM Foundation has awarded its largest scholarships ever. Three scholarships of $5,000 each were awarded to fratres pursuing a major or minor in Jewish studies. The 2012 recipients, Adam Libby and Aaron Meyerhoff from Indiana University (Sigma Zeta), and Liel Navon from University of Texas (Sigma Theta), are all pursuing undergraduate degrees and are active in Jewish campus activities.

In addition to the academic pursuit of Jewish studies, each recipient is active in the Jewish community. Navon has served as Judaic chair of his chapter and worked to make the house kitchen kosher for Passover. Meyerhoff volunteers during the summer at a Jewish camp for disabled children, and Libby, a ΣAM legacy, serves as IFC delegate and is active with Hillel.

Created with an endowment for the ΣAM Centennial from Irving M. Glazer (Indiana University ’38) and his son Jay Glazer (Indiana University ’66), these scholarships set Sigma Alpha Mu apart by affirming our heritage. The Glazer family has been generous benefactors to Sigma Alpha Mu, in addition to their support for universities. The ΣAM Foundation is proud to host the Glazer Family Jewish Studies scholarships and is grateful to the Glazer family for the ability to help young ΣAM members avow their heritage in a scholarly setting.

Scholarship recipients from the Indiana University (Sigma Zeta) chapter: (l-r) Aaron Meyerhoff,Adam Libby, Joshua Steinberg, Adam Nussbaum & Sandy Shyman. Meyerhoof and Libby are two of the first three recipients of the Glazer Family Jewish Studies Scholar-ship. Steinberg received the Remak-Rosenberg Scholarship, Nussbaum received the Ira Lind Scholarship and Shyman received the Hurst Family Scholarship.

I think giving back to your community is so important and you have shown me just how much it can mean to someone. Aaron Meyerhoff, Indiana Univ Glazer Family Jewish Studies Scholarship
