Today, you can help women achieve their academic goals

The cost of college is on the rise, but Alpha Sigma Tau can be part of the solution.

Thanks to our donors, the Alpha Sigma Tau Foundation awards approximately $90,000 in scholarships to members annually, but our members clearly have a much greater need than what we can currently offer.

In fact, this year's scholarship applicants indicated a total need for an additional $1.4 million to cover their college-related expenses for this academic year alone.

With your gift to a scholarship today, the Alpha Sigma Tau Foundation can increase our scholarship awards and help our Sisters focus on their coursework and begin post-grad life in a better position.

Rose Marie Schmidt Scholarship

The Rose Marie Schmidt Scholarship is named for Rose Marie Schmidt (Theta 1944/Wayne State). This award is reserved for a member of Alpha Sigma Tau.

About Rose Marie Schmidt


Rose Marie Schmidt is regarded as one of the most influential women in Alpha Sigma Tau's history. Rose Marie was initiated into Alpha Sigma Tau at Wayne State University, home of the Theta Chapter, on February 29, 1944. She remained involved in the Sorority her entire life. She was an active member of the Detroit Alumnae Panhellenic and Detroit Metro Alumnae Chapter, where she served as President from 1980-1992.

Nationally, Rose Marie served in volunteer roles such as Rush Chairman, National Pledge Chairman, and Alumnae Editor of The Anchor. She also served as National Chairman for the 15th National Convention held in Detroit in 1964, where she was honored with the Ada A. Norton Award.

Rose Marie began her faithful service on the Alpha Sigma Tau Foundation Board as Second Vice President in 1991, before serving as Treasurer from 1997 to 2011. During her 19 years of service on the Board, the Foundation grew exponentially. Rose Marie's financial wisdom guided the Foundation through its most formative years.

When she served as Chairman of the Scholarship Committee, Rose Marie funded this scholarship, which has financially supported the academic endeavors of more than 40 Alpha Sigma Tau members to date.

Rose Marie Schmidt's enormous contributions to Alpha Sigma Tau continue to live on through this scholarship.
