Regional Scholarships:
In 2012, five scholarships will be awarded in the amount of $250 per scholarship. The first four scholarships are supported through the Michigan Region's approved budget and the fifth is supported by an anonymous donor from the Alpha Xi Delta Chapter.
One scholarship was originally created to honor Thomas Obee, member and advisor emeritus of Lambda Mu, former Regional Coordinator, charter member of the Blue Water Alumni Association, and charter member of the Michigan Region Alumni Association; three others were created in memory of Susan Friedrich, first advisor of Alpha Xi Delta; Arleene Quigley, member of Alpha Omicron Xi and Michigan Region Alumni Association, and Dr. Richard Trombley, advisor of Alpha Omicron Xi.
There will always be those special individuals who will forever be etched in the minds of the Michigan Region of Phi Theta Kappa. The fifth scholarship, the Michigan Region Memorial Scholarship was created to represent and honor all of the individuals who dedicated their lives to the hallmarks of Phi Theta Kappa; Scholarship, Leadership, Service, and Fellowship.
It is with honor, appreciation, gratitude and acknowledgement that we choose to recognize those leader who served from their heart. We honor Tom and those in memoriam posthumously and now etch their names in our Michigan Region history forever.
