The Robert G. Crew ‘Freshman Leadership Scholarship’ is funded by the Beta Omicron Alumni Chapter of Pi Kappa Phi Fraternity.

BACKGROUND

Named in memory of Robert G. Crew, an alumnus of Pi Kappa Phi and longtime administrator at Northwestern State University, the scholarship recognizes students who have demonstrated leadership and good character through their involvement in organizations/sports while in high school.

A 1965 and 1968 graduate of NSU, Crew brought credit to the fraternity through his career as a classroom teacher, and many years with the Louisiana Department of Education, including deputy superintendent of education, and his later role as Executive Assistant to the President of NSU. Crew was inducted into the NSU College of Education’s Hall of Distinguished Educators and was awarded The Nth Degree, one of the university’s highest honors that is bestowed for going the extra mile in meritorious service to mankind. He left his mark on the fraternity through years of dedication as an advisor and active alumnus.

The Pi Kappa Phi Freshman Leadership Scholarship was renamed in his memory in 2018 as a tribute to his lifelong dedication to helping students achieve success.
