History has shown that the most consistent high performing Phi Delta Theta chapters are those that take full advantage of the leadership development programs offered through the Phi Delta Theta Leadership and Ethics Academy. To help ensure that as many chapters as possible participate every year, the Whole Man Scholarship was established to provide a way for alumni to directly support the undergraduate members of their chapters as they endeavor to become better men and future leaders.

Whole Man Scholarships are available to those chapters where funds have been established specifically for that purpose. Chapters may have more than one Whole Man Scholarship Fund and eligible chapters select one recipient per fund on a yearly basis.

Key benefits to the undergraduate recipient of the Whole Man Scholarship include:

1. The opportunity to participate in the Shaffer Honors College of Leadership at the Kleberg Emerging Leaders Institute, created to help the Fraternity’s finest undergraduates hone their leadership style and decision making abilities.
2. An academic scholarship to help offset the recipient’s college expenses, with amount determined annually by market earnings (currently $1,000).
