The Sophia
Maier-Johnston Memorial Scholarship was established in 1973 and has
provided over $100,000 in financial aid to disabled college students.
It was inspired by our Founder, Sophia Maier-Johnston, who suffered from
significant hearing loss during her life. Each Province selects a local
recipient for this annual scholarship. The Sigma Beta Dime Fund makes
these scholarships possible. Raising money for the Dime Fund has
inspired creativity and innovation from Sigma Beta sisters everywhere.
The Dime Fund has its very own mascot in the form of an adorable little
bovine bank named Sweet Bessie. To learn more about eligibility or how
to apply, contact

 Bessie
Bovine's tale began in Fort Wayne, IN, at the 2003 Sigma Beta National
Convention. She was taken hostage and Sigma Betas ponied up moolah to
the Dime Fund to set her free. Now Bessie is auctioned off every year
tto benefit the Dime Fund. Her keepers take her home and treat her to
adventures in travel and occasionally mischief. All the while, Bessie
raises money and awareness for the Sigma Beta Dime Fund.
Visit Bessie's web site to share in her
adventures! To learn how you
can help Bessie in her efforts,
contact Sigma Beta's Dime Fund Chairperson.
Bessie is currently on tour with Chi Eta chapter in Indiana. |
