the scholarship nominee who
best exemplified the qualities

teered more than 30 years of
service to the Fraternity and
the Canadian Scholarship
Foundation. Brother Green is
still involved with Phi Delta
Theta and still attends Conventions.
Similar to last year, the
Foundation received seven
applications from Canada's
10 chapters and, this year,
made awards at four different
levels totaling $7,000. The
total dollar value of scholarship
awards for fiscal 1997
was down 20 percent compared
to last year, the combined
result of fewer
donations and federal tax
considerations.

is working closely with
the alumni on a $125,000

with valuable opportunities
to develop his organizational
and leadership skills.
