Donald A. and John R. Fisher Memorial Scholarship, with an application deadline in March, offers numerous awards that vary in amount.

Description

The Donald A. and John R. Fisher Memorial Scholarship recognizes the contributions of TKE's first, and only, father and son Grand Prytanis duo. Donald A. Fisher was initiated a Teke at Omicron at Ohio State University in 1921 and served as Grand Prytanis from 1935-37. His son, John R. Fisher, was initiated a Teke at Gamma-Epsilon Chapter at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in 1950 and served as Grand Prytanis from 1993-95. Frater John established this scholarship in honor of his father, Frater Don. Following Frater John's entry into the Chapter Eternal in 2005, the family asked that this scholarship recognize both father and son. All of the TKE Foundation leadership and scholarship awards are for the benefit of active collegiate members of Tau Kappa Epsilon Fraternity, as of March 15, as defined by The Black Book Article VI Section 2 unless otherwise specified. This scholarship is awarded in recognition of academic achievement to a member with the required GPA or higher and recognizes outstanding leadership within the chapter, on campus and within the community. Please visit the scholarship's website or contact the Tau Kappa Epsilon Educational Foundation for more information.
