We had announced in our previous edition of the eEdNews that we are raising funds for a new endowment. The endowment is named after one of our previous National Presidents, Kay Durden. Our goal is to have $20,000 principal in the investment account and be able to give our first scholarship in 2020. We are currently about halfway to our goal, and we still have a year and a half to go! This is great progress and it is because of the hard work of the Trustees and all of our donors who have contributed to this endeavor. Like our Facebook page, follow us on Twitter and help us spread the word so we can reach our goal!

We also have a wonderful announcement to make. We are pleased to let you all know that we have received the funds for a second endowment this year! This endowment is named in honor of the father of one of our past National Presidents, Dr. Danity Little. It is called the Lester F. Richardson Memorial Endowment in honor of her very “Pro-Phi Chi Theta” father. Please see page 4 to read the story of how Dr. Little’s father inspired her to do more, and be more, by en-couraging her to join the fraternity and make a difference. We can’t thank her enough for this fully-funded endowment, and we are pleased to be able to honor Mr. Richardson’s memory in this way. The first scholarship will be given out at the National Meeting in Wichita in August.

So, get out there and apply for the scholarships, spread the word about us, and encourage dona-tions whenever you can. Don’t forget that chapters who donate will receive National Award Points on the Calendar of Due Dates. Those bonus points might come in handy if you are in the running for the biennial awards.

Dear Phi Chi Theta Members, Alumni, and Friends,

This edition of the eEdNews is an important one for the Educational Foundation. In this edition, we announce how many and how much the scholarships will be. This year, we are fortunate to be able to award five scholarships at the national meeting in Wichita, Kansas. The trustees have been working hard all year to raise these funds, so we can give them out to deserving recipients. Now it is time for our collegiate and alumni members who are attending school next fall, to do some of the work. We need you to apply for these scholarships! Check out the qualification criteria on page 5 for details. The process is not very complicated, but you will want to get your transcript ordered, and your letters of recommendation requested soon. See Pages 5 and 6 for tips to help you make your application a success.

A scholarship was established to honor the memory of Helen D. Snow, Honorary Member of Delta Chapter, Northwestern University.

Helen served as the first female Dean of the Evening Division, School of Business, Northwestern University. This was before “political correctness’ became a common buzzword.

She was also the advisor to the Delta Chapter. Helen served as a mentor to members who were ‘minority’ (female students) on a basically male-dominated campus at Northwestern.

A scholarship was established in 1989 to honor the memory of Anna E. Hall, Founder. She was a member of Colorado Alpha, University of Denver.

In 1924, Anna was the National President of Phi Theta Kappa Business Sorority. Anna facilitated the pre-merger negotiations in Pittsburgh between Phi Theta Kappa and Phi Kappa Epsilon. Anna led the Phi Theta Kappa convention in 1924 that resulted in the merger and creation of Phi Chi Theta.

After she graduated from the University of Denver, she moved to Chicago and was an active member of the Chicago Alumni Chapter, to which she gave her loyal support. Anna was a devoted member who, with her quiet demeanor, was a force in her own way. She attended most of the Delta Chapter meetings to encourage chapter members to become members of the Chicago Alumni Chapter.

The Naomi L. Satterfield Memorial Scholarship is an endowment, established in February 2001 as a result of a bequest to the Foundation. This scholarship is named in honor of Naomi l. Satterfield, who was the Past National President (1989—1995). Naomi is also one of the Founders of the Phi Chi Theta Educational Foundation, established in 1999. It is awarded to members who exemplify the qualities of leadership and commitment to Phi Chi Theta. This endowment is fully funded from tax deductible donation and contributions made by friends and family of Naomi Satterfield and fellow Phi Chi Theta Fraternity sisters and brothers.

Lester F. Richard Memorial

Scholarship—$2,000

The Lester F. Memorial Scholarship is an endowment, established in 2017, by Dr. Danity Little, Trustee of the Phi Chi Theta Educational Foundation, in honor of her late father. Lester F. Richardson earned his B.A. from Southeastern College; his Master’s Degree in Business Administration from Rollins College. He had an extensive ministry as a pastor, evangelist and teacher. He was the author of “Out of God Came Man.” He raised four children, with his loving companion, Boots. He loved to travel throughout the United States and internationally.

“Little things lead to big results” was a favorite saying of his. He started one of the largest Pentecostal churches in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. He took a membership of one and it grew to thousands of members.

Lester F. Richardson Memorial Endowment

WHY PHI CHI THETA???

Dr. Dani Little

MY DAD WAS PRO-PHI CHI THETA. He thought it was a great way for women starting in college and in their chosen profession to gain first hand experience in the business world. Back- ground: In 1973, I began at the University of Maryland. My Dad was delighted when I enrolled and told me “Get as much education as you can; no one can take that from you.” Since I was an accounting major, the second advice he gave me was to join a group that is composed of accounting majors and you will be able to share ideas and know about job opportunities.” No group existed on campus at that time (there was one, but only for men). As I was on the Dean’s advisory committee, I asked why not a group for women. The Dean said there used to be, but it is inactive. But if we could get enough interested, he would sponsor us. (He was also the Advisor for the Men’s fraternity). Long story but the highlights he showed me a trunk which had been stored in the men's fraternity office that was filled with Phi Chi Theta information, long robes and pearls. Alpha Mu became reactivated. Again, my Dad played a pivotal role in encouraging me and especially since I told him the history of 6 women who were our Founders in 1924, and the purpose of the Fraternity was:

“To promote the cause of higher business education and training for all women, to foster high ideals for women in business careers, to encourage fraternity and cooperation among women preparing for such careers; to stimulate the spirit of sacrifice and unselfish devotion to the attainment of such ends.”

From then on, Dad encouraged me to get involved and said this is a great Fraternity whose goals are your goals and provides the opportunity to practice skills in leadership, try out ideas, create relationships and have lifetime friends — all in a safe environment. Another spotlight was in 1986 in Cincinnati, Ohio when we were trying to find a national honorary member who could come to the National Convention I off handedly mentioned this to my Dad and his advice was “always start at the top when you need or want something from others. It is easier to go down than it is to go up.” I contacted Mrs. Marge Schott, Chairman of the Board and President, Cincinnati Reds Baseball team. She accepted the invitation to be a National Honorary member of Phi Chi Theta.

My Dad was my biggest mentor and pusher to do things out of the box. He was always reading, going to school or learning a skill. He took Spanish so he could counsel migrate workers and he set up a library for them, he did the taxes for the community, he was the first white teacher in an all-black school, he was a supporter for anyone that came to him and asked for help. These are just a few examples of why I think that the endowment in his name should be invested in Phi Chi Theta Educational Foundation. I think he would have loved to know that his support, mentoring and encouragement lives on through the form of scholarship that would help someone to continue her/his education.

APPLY FOR SCHOLARSHIP APPLICATION NOW! Deadline is May 1, 2018

Send your application by e-mail: [email protected]. It is recommended that you request letters of recommendation, on letterhead, and transcript no later than April 1, 2018 since these items are sent separately from application. Applications that are late or incomplete will not be considered. Please review the application instructions following this section and the checklist provided on the last page of the application. Please send, by e-mail, a photo-quality business/professional picture, separate from the application. Winners of the 2018 scholarships will be announced during the national meeting in Wichita, Kansas.

To qualify for consideration, applicants must be:

• A member of Phi Chi Theta in good standing. This means that annual and assessment dues are paid.

• A student who has completed at least one semester or two quarters of college in the United States.

• A student who will be enrolled in and attending classes during the forthcoming academic year at an approvedcollege or university in the United States, in pursuit of a degree (bachelor’s, master’s, or doctoral) in thefields of Business and/or Economics, or minoring in business or economics.

The criteria for selection will be based upon:

• Phi Chi Theta achievements and contributions

• Scholastic achievement as demonstrated in official transcript. Courses enrolled in during the SpringSemester 2018 (Will be on some transcripts; if not, send the list of courses you are taking with yourapplication.)

• School and community achievement and activities

• Faculty member (required) and either a Phi Chi Theta Fraternity officer, or an employer’s letters ofrecommendation

• Essay question

Here are some combined tidbits from the previous Scholarship Committee members:

1. Interested in people that give of themselves selflessly in our organization, as well as involvement in thecommunity at large which brings good rapport to Phi Chi Theta. Also looking at the overall tone of thegiven applicant’s submission. Measurable achievements are the ultimate determining factor. Capture anydemonstrable accomplishments to these ends, both great and small in the applications. Before you hit thesend button on a PCT scholarship application, pause for a moment to reflect upon how you have givenyourself to the community. You are being formally assessed by that community. After all you haveachieved, how you then comport yourself to others in your communications takes an additional effort.What and how you formally publicize contributions above and beyond will retain a degree of permanencyand notoriety in the decision-making process. Take credit for assuming permanent and temporary posi-tions of responsibility in PCT and in any volunteer roles. Avoid the pitfalls of both understatement andoverstatement and do no overlook possibilities that may apply in special circumstances, as appropriate.

2. Ensure that the questions are answered.3. Be specific, state what, how and when “things” happened at Phi Chi Theta under your guidance.4. Keep a log of activities that you feel would set you apart from others applying for scholarship.5. For recommendations letter, suggest the reference know personally your involvement with PCT.

Scholarship Committee tidbits continued…...

6. Be sure to tailor your application to your strengths. If you have been involved in numerous PCT/

school programs or community involvement initiatives, your PCT Achievements and Contributions

(Section 3) and School and Community Achievement and Contributions (Section 4) portions may

be better expressed with headers and bullet points for each activity/program. However, if you

involvement is limited to one or two activities, you will benefit more from using a paragraph

structure that focuses on how those events impact(ed) you. Regardless of the style you choose, be

sure to describe your specific contributions in detail.

7. When completing the essay portion, the more thoughtful you can be in your responses, the better.

8. Do not forget to review your application for spelling and grammar errors. Answer each question as

completely as possible, paying attention to any opportunities to showcase your positive character

traits.

9. Be sure to apply. The Foundation looks forward to learning about your accomplishments and goals,

and helping you get closer to achieving them.

10. The applications that stood out were the ones that made their involvement in Phi Chi Theta the main

narrative of the application. The academic piece is only one part of the college experience; the rest

is how a student chooses to develop themselves professionally, personally and who they choose to

surround themselves with. Phi Chi Theta gives its members the resources to expand beyond their

academic education. As an application reviewer, I want to hear specific stories about how an

applicant has leveraged his/her involvement to develop themselves and how they have passed on

the knowledge and skills they have learned.

11. Don’t let a lower GPA or perceived lack of accomplishments deter you from pursuing this

opportunity to apply! Even a small award can save you hundreds of dollars in long-term student

loan pay-off amounts.

12. When you ask the people recommending you for the scholarship, give them the form that is located

on the last page of the scholarship application. The people receiving this form do the best job with

the recommendations. Also, the letters of recommendation must be on letterhead. Does your

chapter have letterhead stationery? If not, send an e-mail to the Chair: [email protected]

and she will send the chapter a sample letterhead, approved by the Phi Chi Theta Fraternity.

13. If your chapter refers to members as Brothers, remember that when you fill out the scholarship

application, you should refer to the members as Sisters and Brothers. If you have your President

writing a letter of recommendation, he/she should refer to the members as Sisters and Brothers, or

refer to you as a Sister or Brother.

Kay Durden Endowment Fundraising

2020

$10,000

$5,000

FY 2018 — $5,000

FY 2017—$5,000

2019

The Foundation relies on its trustees, members, family, and corporation matching funds for donations. Funds raised one year, except for the Naomi Satterfield Scholarship Endowment and the Lester F. Richardson Endowment, are used the year received. The donations are put into a non-investment account, earning very little interest. The trustees want to treat the Kay Durden Memorial Scholarship the same way it treats the Naomi Satterfield Scholarship and Lester F. Richardson Endowments, investing the funds in equities and fixed income and Preferreds and alternatives. In order to do that, the Phi Chi Theta Educational Foundation has set a goal of $20,000 to start an endowment in Kay Durden’s name. As of this date, $10,000 has been donated. It means that we will not be offering the Kay Durden Memorial Scholarship until 2020. However, in the long run, it will be a magnificent way of showing that the Phi Chi Theta Educational Foundation is serious-minded about its mission. The Foundation will continue to offer three or more scholarships each year – Naomi Satterfield Memorial Scholarship, Anna Hall Memorial Scholarship and the Helen Snow Memorial Scholarship, for example. Lester F. Richardson Memorial Scholarship will be offered every other year, starting in 2018.

If each chapter would consider hosting a fundraiser each year for the purpose of helping establish a Kay Durden Memorial Scholarship endowment, the Foundation will be able to fulfill its commitment to offering the Satterfield, Richardson and the Durden scholarships for many years to come. It is absolutely necessary for the Foundation to come up with fundraising ideas every year. Hopefully, this year, you will put this particular fundraiser on your calendar, and that a fundraiser for the Foundation will be an annual tradition. this fundraiser now, you have the full academic year to make this particular fundraiser a reality.
