Consistent with its mission to support its members in every possible way, the Delta Delta Delta Foundation will
provide emergency assistance to Tri Delta undergraduate collegians after their first year of membership upon
experiencing an unforeseen financial crisis that might force them to withdraw from school. The following guidelines
will be used:
1. In order to be eligible for consideration, (1) the Tri Delta must be an undergraduate, (2) she must be enrolled in
school full time, (3) a full year must have passed since the date of her initiation, and (4) she must be facing an
unforeseen financial crisis.
2. To apply to the one-time Collegiate Crescent Fund grant, the member must describe her need and financial
situation. The Collegiate Crescent Fund committee will investigate as necessary to ensure the validity of the
application and may require documentation for approval. IRS regulations do not allow the applicant to use these
funds to pay Tri Delta dues, fees or chapter housing. In order to comply with IRS regulations and properly monitor
Collegiate Crescent Fund activities, a confidential file is maintained for each grant recipient. The file contains grant
application materials, a record of action taken regarding the case, and a record of grant payments. Every attempt will
be made to keep these files confidential.
3. Applications can be made at any time throughout the year. The maximum grant available is $2,500.
4. To apply for a grant, email or mail the following information to: [email protected] or
