Sigma Alpha Mu was a fraternity active on the University of Alberta Campus since the 1940’s. After it disbanded in 1972, its Board of Trustees decided to use the earnings from investment of the assets to support Jewish university students. Jewish Family Services was then entrusted with the administration of the fund to support students in the form of scholarships.
