Dave Calhoun Academic Scholarship

 

Every year we award $750 to the brother who lives in the house with the highest GPA the Dave Calhoun Scholarship. We want to show that being in DKE does not impede on school work and to reward those who prove this the best. As part of the three tenants to be a true Deke, along side gentleman and a jolly good fellow, a scholar is someone we cherish.
