"The Sigma Phi Epsilon Educational Foundation is partnering with the 2005 Scripps National Spelling Bee to provide a $5,000 college scholarship for the Champion.
The Scripps National Spelling Bee is the nation’s longest-running educational promotion. It started in Louisville, Kentucky in 1925 with nine contestants. Today there are 243 local spelling bees throughout the world.Sigma Phi Epsilon’s partnership developed from the belief that Sigma Phi Epsilon’s concept of Sound Mind/Sound Body is a perfect fit with the purpose of the Bee.
This partnership is another way that SigEp encourages academic excellence. By lending its name to this event, SigEp seeks to change perceptions about the American College Fraternity.
