Our work focuses on:

• Supporting Education and Scholarships: We advance leadership, service, and academic achievement among Native American students and communities. This includes the Phi Sigma Nu Fallen Warriors Scholarship, created to honor the memory and determination of Brothers who have passed away, known as our “Fallen Warriors.” The scholarship is available to American Indian men who are enrolled in a state or federally recognized tribe, maintaining a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.0, and attending an accredited four-year college or university, community college, or tribal college or university as graduating high school seniors, sophomores, juniors, or seniors.

• Promoting Cultural Education and Awareness: Through outreach and charitable programming, we help foster cultural education, preserve Native American heritage, and promote understanding and respect for our communities’ diverse traditions and experiences.

• Providing Support in Times of Loss: We recognize that grief can place both emotional and financial strain on our Brothers and their families. The Foundation offers a Condolence Fund to provide monetary assistance to Brothers mourning the loss of an immediate family member or to support the family of a Fallen Warrior, helping ease financial burdens during difficult times..
