My Testimonial

It is a huge honor to receive the Beta Pi - Bell Chapter Scholarship. Thank you to everyone generous enough to make this scholarship possible and for helping me in continuing my education. Thank you for believing in the power of education and my ability as a student. Through your support, I and many others like me will be able to continue accomplishing our goals and striving to achieve our dreams. What some of us only thought possible is becoming a reality thanks to the support of the Bell Scholarship.

Not only am I able to stay in school, but this scholarship opens the door for furthering my education beyond just a bachelor's degree. Not only that, but my study abroad aspirations are coming to fruition. The continued philanthropy Sigma Chis show throughout life generates a sense of pride in me every day. Throughout my college career, I have learned what it means to be a leader and what it means to be a friend. I've been through failure but guided by Sigma Chi and the network around me, I've always found myself back to growth.

I am forever grateful for this award and I will continue to engross myself in college life.
