After polio was eradicated, our mission shifted toward funding emotional support for hospitalized children known as 'play therapy.' This cutting-edge treatment helps children better understand their illnesses and cope with the treatments they must undergo.

Since 1951, Tri Sigma has dedicated itself to serving children’s health initiatives. Our first national philanthropic partner, the Robbie Page Memorial Fund, began by funding research and vaccine trials to combat polio. This includes experiences that will prepare members to be successful in life after college, enhance their leadership skills, and become confident, resilient people. Tri Sigma provides the opportunity for members to gain the skill sets needed to thrive as members, empower others, realize individual potential, and lead with confidence and character. Annual scholarship applications are due January 31 each year. Any member can apply, and scholarships range from $500 to $5,000, depending on the amount of funds available.

Tri Sigma Foundation provides merit-based and needs-based scholarships to both graduate and undergraduate members of Tri Sigma. Since 1992, the Foundation has funded nearly $2 million in scholarships and leadership programming, and provided nearly $3 million in grant funding to support causes aligning with Tri Sigma's philanthropic focus, Sigma Serves Children. Serving causes greater than oneself is a cornerstone of our values-and the Tri Sigma Foundation enables members to make an even greater impact on the world. The Foundation is a non-profit 501(c) (3) organization, and gifts are tax deductible in the United States to the fullest extent allowable by law.
