With the 2012-2013 academic year scholarship application deadline looming just over a week away, we thought we’d share another Scholarship Spotlight with you to illustrate what it takes to become a Gamma Sigma Alpha scholarship recipient. This Spotlight focuses on Branden Stewart, a graduate from Grand Valley State University (GVSU) and a proud member of Delta Sigma Phi Fraternity.

Stewart graduate from GVSU with a degree in advertising and public relations. He was an active leader serving his fraternity and Greek Life Council as President during his time on campus. He was initiated into Gamma Sigma Alpha during his junior year and says his involvement in the organization contributed to his own accountability and focus academically. He was also a member of Order of Omega and Omicron Delta Kappa honoraries.

Stewart was hired by Phired Up Productions  an education firm that works with fraternal and other cause-based organizations, to coordinate resource development after he served as an intern for the organization. In his internship role he authored 365 Days of Dynamic Recruitment and launched a peer networking initiative. Currently, he regularly contributes to the Phired Up Blog and is highly regarded within the company. The President of Phired Up, Matt Mattson, said, “Branden is a quiet, strong, determined leader who lives a values-driven lifestyle.”

The Gamma Sigma Alpha graduate student scholarship assisted Stewart as he pursues his Master’s degree in Student Affairs Administration in Higher Education at Ball State University this year. The Board of Directors of Gamma Sigma Alpha was proud to recognize this outstanding student and wish him the best in future endeavors. Will you be one of our Spotlight students next year?
