Specifically, a Sigma Phi Epsilon balanced man is a leader, scholar, athlete, and a gentleman.  To qualify for the Balanced Man Scholarship, you must submit an application by May 16, 2026, and enroll, full-time, at Louisiana State University, for the Fall 2026 term. Students can apply online at: https://lsu.sigep.org/bms/Applicants have no obligation to join or affiliate with SigEp to be eligible for the scholarship.
