Triangle Achievement Scholarship

The Triangle Achievement Scholarship is awarded to three students who have displayed exemplary progress in academic excellence, community involvement, leadership, and personal balance. All incoming male freshmen to the University of Louisville are eligible. Tau Kappa Epsilon promotes a strong individual character that includes a blend of academic excellence, personal and leadership skills, and personal balance. We pride ourselves on having members who exemplify these qualities and thus select the best students in each incoming freshman class. We will invite all finalists and their families to attend our scholarship banquet to be held near campus during the first weeks of the fall semester. It is then we will announce the winners and invite all finalists to join our fraternity during the forthcoming rush.

As a fraternity that encourages the growth of talented, hard-working men, we expect that our winners would reap numerous benefits from joining our brotherhood. In turn, we believe these individuals will strengthen our brotherhood and ideals. As an incoming freshman, you will face many important decisions in every aspect of your life. You will be challenged to balance your academic demands and to simultaneously develop the relationships and personal skills that will provide you with numerous intangible benefits for the rest of your personal and working life.

All applicants are judged only on their academic excellence, community involvement, leadership experience, and overall individual balance. We will invite potential finalists throughout the summer to come get to know us at cookouts and/or community service events. We should note that TKE has a strict anti-hazing policy and we have a flexible pledge program to ensure the sustained focus on academic excellence that we expect from all of our members.

Interested students and their families are encouraged to arrange a visit with us to experience TKE first-hand. We realize that the decision to apply for such an award necessitates a great deal of consideration and deliberation, and we are happy to answer any questions or address any concerns you have. We hope that this letter has provided you with some insight into the benefits of the scholarship; also, what Tau Kappa Epsilon Fraternity has to offer. We hope that you will become a part of our tradition and we look forward to being in contact with you.
