The Balanced Man Scholarship (BMS) is awarded to a male incoming student at Northern Kentucky University who embody the Fraternity’s values and ideals: Virtue, Diligence, Brotherly Love, Sound Mind, and Sound Body. Applicants should be unaffiliated with Sigma Phi Epsilon or any other fraternities; that being said, applicants are not in any way required to join Sigma Phi Epsilon.
BMS, named the "'Make Your Mark' Krzywonos Scholarship" at the KY Eta chapter, originated at the University of Cincinnati in 1990, as a way to attract men of Sound Mind and Sound Body. The Scholarship is currently OPEN and will close on August 18, 2024.
