Thomas O. Hicks Scholarships 

The Sigma Phi Epsilon Educational Foundation is pleased to announce the 2012-13 Hicks Scholars, thanks to a generous endowment from Life Trustee Thomas O. Hicks, Texas ‘68. The following men were selected for their academic improvement from their freshman to sophomore year. They now serve as an excellent example of a SigEp’s diligent pursuit of the diploma.

When he was a sophomore, the Texas Alpha Chapter motivated Brother Hicks to get serious about his grades, which had suffered during his freshman year. He improved his GPA significantly and continued to be a good student. Because of his good grades, he was able to attend graduate school at the University of Southern California and obtain his masters degree. Hicks went on to a successful career in international business, banking and investing. He and his family now live in Dallas, Texas.
