Greek Life
Scholarship
Scholarship is an important dimension of the Greek community at UM!
Academics and learning are the most important aspects of college life, and
Greek students recognize that the purpose of attending school is to receive a
quality education. Each Greek chapter has set their own standards and a
minimum GPA is required before joining.
To accomplish these academic standards, many different programs have been put in place. The Greek organizations at the University of Montevallo strive to set the standard in everything they do and academics is no exception.
Every chapter has a specially designed scholarship program for its members. Those programs offer rewards for those who excel, but they also offer support for those who need to develop stronger study habits. The academic support that an individual can receive through the Greek community includes: establish study sessions and quiet hours, GPA requirements for membership, leadership opportunities, computer access, incentives and rewards, scholarships, tutoring, and mentoring programs.
It is no surprise that studies on campuses across the country indicate that generally Greeks have higher grade point averages and graduate at a rate of nearly 20% higher than unaffiliated students.
