This scholarship was established in honor of the chapter advisor who helped Kappa Chapter survive during the 1940's despite a dearth of college students. It is awarded every Spring (to be used in the Fall semester) to the student at Carnegie Mellon who most exemplifies the principles of Leadership, Friendship, and Service that are central to Alpha Phi Omega, but who is not affiliated with Alpha Phi Omega.
