Awards and Scholarships
Delta Sigma Pi offers a variety of undergraduate scholarships for its brothers. The fraternity as a whole offers almost 40 scholarships ranging form $500 to $5,000. Scholarships are not only available for brothers at the undergraduate level; Delta Sigma Pi offers four $1,500 scholarships for graduate studies.
We also offer opportunities to find other scholarships, particularly from the College Fraternity Editors Association and the North American Interfraternal Foundation.
The Alpha Epsilon Chapter also strives to award scholarships to outstanding graduating seniors in commerce, business administration, or economics, whether or not they are members of the Delta Sigma Pi. The Scholarship Key is offered to every university hosting a Delta Sigma Pi chapter and has been awarded since 1912. Each year, the highest ranking graduating senior is awarded the Scholarship Key.

Inner Chapter Awards
AE27 Alumnus Rudie Janzen Award
- This award is given to a brother of the chapter who exemplifies what it means to be an ideal member. Rudie Janzen is as close as one comes to being an ideal member. He created a newsletter called Bits and Pieces, later renamed the Minnesota Alumni Connection. For sixty years, Rudie Janzen contributed to the fraternity until he passed away on June 24, 1989. Rudie Janzen is survived by his wife Eleanor, woh although she is not an alumnus, has been very involved with the fraternity.
Andrew F. Kokesh (AE828) Award
- This award is given in memory of our first Alpha Epsilon brother who lost his life serving our country in the Vietnam War. The chapter presents it to the graduating senior who the chapter feels has given the most to the fraternity and school throughout his/her collegiate career.
