complete their education."
Scholarships and Loans
The Jeff Williams Scholarship
Awarded to a member of the Tri-State Chapter
To recognize and stimulate the characteristics essential in a Brother of Triangle Fraternity, the
Tri-State chapter created an annual scholarship in memory of Brother Jeff Williams tsu97. Jeff
represented and encouraged the qualities of a Triangle Brother while helping to build and preserve
the traditions of the Fraternity. This award honors not only the recipient, but it also serves as a
tribute to Jeff himself.More information about the Jeff
Williams Scholarship
Triangle National Scholarships
Recognizing the expense in attending a university, the Triangle Education
Foundation has established a scholarship and loan program for members of the fraternity. These
programs are made possible through the generous donations of Triangle alumni.
Each year the Foundation awards over $10,000 in scholarship and
fellowship grants. The awards are paid out of the income generated by endowed funds.
A minimum GPA of 3.0/4.0 is necessary for consideration.
The Rust Scholarship
Awards $3,500 annually based on a combination of need, grades and participation in
campus and Triangle Activities. All other things being equal, preference is given to
applicants in the core engineering disciplines or "hard" sciences.
The Mortin Scholarship
Awards $2,500 annually based on a combination of need, grades and participation in campus
and Triangle Activities.
The Edward and Isabell Larson Memorial Fellowship for Graduate Study
Awards $1,500 annually, to a Triangle pursuing a master's or doctoral program in engineering.
The Triangle National Loan Program
The Triangle Education Foundation, through the generosity of Alumni brothers and others,
is able to make a limited number of loans each year to deserving Active members of Triangle
Fraternity to help them complete their education. Currently, $12,000 is available per year;
the year begins on July 1.
Procedure, size and repayment of loans
Applicants submit the application forms, a current
transcript, and two letters of recommendation. An applicant may borrow up to $3000. No interest is charged, but the borrower is
invited to make a contribution of any amount he may choose with or following his last
payment to help perpetuate and enlarge the Foundation loan program. Payments commence after graduation or leaving school.
Eligibility
Loan applicants shall: a.) be Active members of Triangle Fraternity who are enrolled in a
course of study leading to a degree; b.) shall have completed at least two full academic
years of school; c.) shall be within two academic years of graduation, and; d.) shall have
maintained, as of time of application, the minimum scholastic average required for
graduation in their chosen majors.
Borrower responsibility
Foundation funds available to Triangle members are the result of the donations of many
groups and individuals, and represent their willingness to help fellow Triangles. Prompt repayment of loans will enable the Foundation to continue and expand assistance of
this kind.
There are more details on these programs available on
Triangle's National web site.
