Members who submit a carefully written, complete application that adheres closely to the application instructions for each section are significantly more likely to receive an award. Completing the application process is also excellent practice for those planning to attend graduate school or apply for a job. Applications are judged based on academics, service both to the community and to Sigma Tau Delta, and quality of writing.
