Academic Achievement Awards (AAA)  encourage academic excellence in Phi Gamma Delta's newly initiated members. For the last 50 years, the Phi Gamma Delta Educational Foundation has supported the educational and academic programs of the Fraternity's members.

Recognizing that undergraduate members need a healthy academic environment for their scholastic aspirations, the Foundation wants to build solid leaders by making the greatest impact possible upon the academic careers of the members of Phi Gamma Delta. 

The Foundation has created AAA, a $250 scholarship available to newly initiated members of Phi Gamma Delta who earn a 3.0 GPA during their pledging semester.  Statics show that people who start their academic careers off with high GPA's are more likely to graduate with a high GPA and graduate from the same school.
