The Darryl Jahn Scholarship– Beta Sigma Lutheran Fraternity  Each year since, the Ames Alumni Chapter of Beta Sigma Psi have offered the Darryl Jahn Scholarship to incoming Lutheran men who are enrolled to attend Iowa State University. During that time, we have awarded over $50,000 to the two or three applicants each year who best exemplify the purposes and Beta Sigma Psi. They have led their high schools academically, in sporting teams, their churches, and philanthropic endeavors. They have been leaders in their communities, churches, high schools, and organizations they were called upon, which is why the scholarship is named after our fraternity’s alumnus, the late Jahn. To apply for this scholarship, see the flyer on the bulletin board.
