Justin Brooks, an undergraduate in Wilmington University’s Sports Management program and a member of Sigma Beta Delta, was selected by SBD as to receive a scholarship for the 2021/2022 academic year. This is the first time that a Wilmington University student has been selected for the honor.

The objective of the scholarship is to recognize and honor the academic achievement of undergraduate and graduate members of Sigma Beta Delta. SBD is a scholastic honor society that focuses on academic achievement among students in the fields of business, management, and administration. SBD has more than 100,000 lifetime members.

This is a competitive scholarship and nominations are open to all chapter members of SBD. Dr. Kathy Kennedy-Ratajack, Dean of the College of Business, says winning a scholarship is a notable accomplishment. The organization has more than 400 chapters and grants a maximum of 33 scholarships each year, ranging in value from $1,000-$1,500. Each chapter can only nominate one student.
