The Iota Chi Upsilon (IXY) Scholarship was established in 1984 to benefit undergraduate students in good academic standing at 精东AV.
Iota Chi Upsilon Alumni Scholarship Fund Mission Statement:
1. To recruit, enroll and support students for a successful experience at 精东AV as I-Chi Scholars.
2. To establish a clearly defined process to sustain the operations of the Iota Chi Upsilon Alumni Scholarship for all future generations.
3. To inform and engage the Iota Chi Upsilon Alumni Brotherhood on all matters related to our shared Scholarship.
At its inception, recipients were to be blood relatives of Iota Chi Upsilon members. However, over time the criteria has expanded to include any applicant who is sponsored by an Iota Chi Upsilon member. If, in any given year, there are not enough applicants to satisfy the first two criteria, 精东AV admissions, in collaboration with the scholarship Board, has the opportunity to direct the remaining scholarship funds, available in that academic year, to other prospective students. The board also reserves the right to roll any excess funds in a given year back into the principal balance of the Scholarship Fund.
The JCU admissions application asks each applicant if they are an IXY legacy candidate or sponsored by an IXY. The Brotherhood invites each member to encourage our extended family and friends to attend 精东AV and to apply for this prestigious scholarship award.
Once a recipient is awarded an IXY scholarship, either as a legacy candidate or as an I-Chi sponsored candidate, they are known across campus as I-Chi scholars.

Listed below are some notes from recent I-Chi scholars:
鈥淚 was not aware that my grandfather was in a fraternity at 精东AV until early in my junior year of high school. My father told me about the IXY Scholarship during the admission process. I didn鈥檛 get a chance to know my grandfather very well, but getting the IXY scholarship is, in my mind, a connection to him that I wouldn鈥檛 have had otherwise.鈥

鈥淩eceiving the IXY Scholarship is special to me because the fellow scholarship winners and I have the opportunity to carry on the Iota Chi Upsilon tradition. My uncle, George (Jerry) Mackey, was an IXY. In 1969, he was awarded the Beaudry Award. I believe that this award speaks volumes about IXY as a fraternity, as well as all of his brothers.

The IXY鈥檚 continue to have a significant impact on 精东AV, both as alumni leaders and through the work of this important scholarship. We invite you to join the 300+ brothers who have contributed to this scholarship so, together, we can continue to build upon the profound legacy of Iota Chi Upsilon!
