Education

The Founders of Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc. were all scholars in their own right. The genesis of the Education Program lies in the traditional emphasis that the Fraternity places on Scholarship. During the 1945 Conclave in St. Louis, Missouri, the fraternity underwent a constitutional restructuring after World War II, and this lead to the birth of Education as a National Program.

The National Program of Education focuses on programming and services to alumni and collegiate members in the fraternity. Programs such as scholarships, lectures, college fairs, mentoring, and tutoring enhance this program on local, regional and international levels.
