Thanks to the support of our generous donors, the Zeta Beta Tau Foundation awards academic scholarships to brothers of ZBT every year. In total, we have awarded over $2,000,000 in scholarships since our founding. This year, the Zeta Beta Tau Foundation is proud to announce that 37 undergraduates were awarded almost $180,000 in scholarships for the 2025-2026 academic year.

Each year, we ask recipients of the Zeta Beta Tau Foundation Academic Scholarships to share the personal impact of the award, a little about themselves, and how Zeta Beta Tau has shaped them into men of good character. This is just one of the incredible responses we received from a 2025-2026 Scholarship Recipient.

Receiving this scholarship from the ZBT Foundation is both an honor and a necessary help. This scholarship helps relieve the growing financial burden on my family and allows me to focus fully on my education and professional development. It allows me to spend time preparing for and pursuing career opportunities, dedicating time to leadership roles on campus, and continuing to support causes I care deeply about. It also reminds me that brotherhood doesn’t end when I become an alumnus—because I’ll owe the support I was given to the younger generation of ZBTs. I’m incredibly grateful to the Foundation and its donors for helping me take full advantage of my college experience.

I joined the Alpha Gamma Chapter of ZBT during my second semester of college. Although that was only 30 months ago, I owe a large part of my life today to ZBT. My friends and brothers—each extremely different from me, yet closer to my heart than I could have ever imagined. Role models and mentors who have offered guidance not only in personal relationships but also in helping me discover my career goals. And of course, the experiences—many of which have become the highlights of my time in college.
