Kaya Hickin Recipient of the Alpha Academic Scholarship during the 2025-2026  academic year. Chapter: Alpha School: Miami University Graduation Year: 2026

My Testimonial

I am truly honored to be selected as a recipient of the Sigma Chi Foundation Academic Scholarship for the 2025–2026 academic year. This support will directly help me cover educational expenses at Miami University, allowing me to focus more fully on my academics, personal growth, and entrepreneurial pursuits without the constant weight of financial stress.

Sigma Chi has shaped me in ways that extend far beyond the classroom. Its values of friendship, justice, and learning mirror my own core values of authenticity, resilience, and compassion. Through my undergraduate journey, I have worked to embody these principles in both leadership and service, whether it’s mentoring peers, balancing responsibilities as a student and entrepreneur, or striving to live a life of integrity and purpose.

This scholarship is more than financial support; it is a reminder of the bond that unites us as brothers and the responsibility I carry to uphold our ideals. It motivates me to continue striving for excellence academically, in my business ventures, and in my community.

To the generous donors who make this scholarship possible, I extend my deepest gratitude. Your investment not only relieves financial burdens but also empowers me to keep building toward my vision of making a meaningful impact in the world. I look forward to honoring this support by representing Sigma Chi proudly and paying it forward to future brothers.

Thank you again for believing in me and for helping make my education and goals possible.

Sincerely,
Kaya Hickin
