While specific requirements vary, a common thread unites them: a dedication to fostering the next generation of Black male leaders.

Boule Foundation Scholarship: Empowering Black Scholars

The Boule Foundation Scholarship aims to support Black, college-bound high school seniors who will be attending a four-year university. The scholarship is available to citizens or permanent residents of the United States, residents of London, England, or citizens of the Bahamas. Each year, the scholarship awards $7,000 each to multiple Black high school seniors who will be attending a four-year university in the Fall following their high school graduation. Applicants must also have a minimum 3.0 GPA in order to be eligible. However, the scholarship may be received for up to four years so long as recipients continue to meet the renewal requirements (2.7+ GPA and full-time enrollment).

Mentorship and Support Systems

Beyond financial assistance, the Delta Sigma Boule and similar organizations often provide mentorship and support programs. Victor Rounds, founder of the Young Successors & Leaders Scholarship and Mentoring Program, emphasizes the importance of mentorship in guiding young individuals. Ryan, a resident of Advocate Illinois Masonic Medical Center’s General Practice Residency Program, also acknowledges the valuable support and guidance he received from the men of Delta Sigma Boule’.

Chicago Scholars Program: A Partner in Success

Delta Sigma participates in the Chicago Scholars program, a success and leadership development program for financially under-resourced and first-generation Chicago students. The program provides comprehensive support to students to ensure they graduate from college. Delta Sigma mentors and prepares its students to compete for lucrative scholarships awarded by college and universities in the program.

Denver Area Boule Foundation (DEBF)

What started as a small scholarship program is now a comprehensive personal, professional and leadership development program designed to meet the unique needs of young Black men. Our leadership development program has four programmatic pillars.

Scholarships

We award $20,000 over four years to Black male graduates of Denver area high schools and $5,000 annual, renewable scholarships to scholars pursuing graduate degrees. In 2025, we awarded 5 new scholarships to incoming freshmen and one scholarship to a graduate student. The 2024-2025 school year will have a total of 30 DEBF Scholars, 25 undergraduates and 5 graduate scholars. These 30 individuals will receive funds and actively participate in our programs.

Mentoring

Every Scholar is matched with a Boule fraternity member to mentor and support him throughout his college experience. Each Mentor communicates with his Scholar at least twice a month through the duration of his scholarship. Additionally, Scholars participate in networking and volunteer events with Mentors, other Boule members, community leaders, fellow Scholars and alumni.

Internships

Internships is another cornerstone of our program. We feel internships are a critical professional development opportunity for our scholars during their four years as undergraduates. We partner with local companies and agencies in metro Denver to provide paid internships but our scholars also gain internship experience on a national level. Approximately 80% of our scholars have participated in paid internships in multiple career fields since we launched this program in 2016.

Professional Development Institute

Through this training program, our volunteer instructors teach proven strategies for successfully navigating the professional world as young Black men. Boule members and other Black leaders share their knowledge and experience to help scholars develop professional behaviors, improve their resumes, practice elevator pitches, and navigate the job search and hiring process.
