Submit an official transcript from each institution of higher learning where you have registered for coursework, signed by the Registrar, including your grades for the most recently completed term. You may have the University transmit them to us directly. If there is a financial or logistical barrier to acquiring an official transcript, you may submit an unofficial copy from your records (screenshots, record prints). 

Submit a typed letter to the Scholarship Committee indicating your reasons for seeking an award and including an explanation of your need for financial assistance; your achievements and honors in college; a description of your service to Theta Delta Chi Fraternity and elsewhere in your community; and a statement of your goals for the future. Those who are not actively performing service to Theta Delta Chi at the time of applying should furnish an additional statement explaining why Theta Delta Chi should assist them.

Submit two (2) letters of recommendation to the Scholarship Committee. These letters should testify to your character and potential as a student and should be from someone, other than a member of your family, who knows you and your work. Letters from a dean or other college official, a professor, a Charge or house corporation officer, an alumni association officer, or an employer would be appropriate examples. The signed letters of recommendation can be faxed, e-mailed, or mailed to us directly by you or your recommender.
