The Pi Beta Phi Foundation’s Emma Harper Turner (EHT) Fund is one philanthropic project that is close to the hearts of many alumnae and collegians. The EHT Fund provides one-time grants or monthly stipends to alumnae in dire financial need, alumnae continuing their education due to extreme circumstances and for the education expenses of collegians who have experienced a life change that jeopardizes their ability to stay in school. After Hurricane Katrina, the Foundation Board of Trustees also voted to add disaster relief measures to the EHT Fund program to ease the application process for members residing in Presidentially declared disaster areas, to expand on the need with which we are able to assist collegians and to speed the distribution of aid.
We are all aware of this summer's storms, flooding, wildfires and hurricane damage. Please help us notify those residing in Presidentially declared disaster areas of the Emma Harper Turner Fund.
Below is a link to a PDF file of the EHT Fund Immediate Needs Disaster Relief Grant application. Please notice that only one Pi Phi sponsor, to verify need, is required of the Disaster Relief Grant application. This differs from the three required of normal EHT applications.

Applications for grants must be received on or before the six month anniversary of the date of the Presidential declaration of disaster.
