SEF Scholarships

Scholarship Recipients

2011 Foundation Scholarships
$5,000 Scholarship

  • Mr. Shane Thomas Jr., Xi Nu (Stetson) '08
    • "As a student whose family struggled with finances all of my life, we never had shelter stability, financial safety, or personal welfare moderation. I was afraid I wasn't going to go to college because of how much was going on in my life. I knew that there was no way my family could pay my college's tuition every year because my mother or grandparents didn't even make that much in one year. Then, as each college semester went on, the tuition started rising. At the beginning of last year, I started contemplating dropping out of school because I had no money to pay for the rising tuition. I applied for the SEF scholarship in the hopes of funding my senior year. Because of this scholarship, I was able to attend for my final year as an undergraduate and continue my path towards becoming a choral conductor and changing people’s lives through music."

$500 Scholarship

  • Mr. Joshua Sholler, Gamma Epsilon (Michigan State) '08
    • "When I joined Phi Mu Alpha almost 4 years ago, I could never have imagined everything that Sinfonia has given me. Phi Mu Alpha not only provided brotherhood, friends, and a broadening of my musical career; it also gave me the opportunity to support and continue my education. The SEF scholarship that I received helped to support my education this year by allowing me to reduce my substantial text book costs. I am extremely grateful for this scholarship and I strongly advocate that all brothers take advantage of this wonderful opportunity the SEF provides all Sinfonians."
