David D. Morgan Extra Mile National Scholars Program

Established in the fall of 2014, the David D. Morgan Extra Mile National Scholars Program is funded by and named for Beta Omicron (Northwestern State) alumnus, David D. Morgan. An entrepreneur, insurance executive and leader within his industry and the Fraternity, Brother Morgan has spent a considerable portion of his life helping others to be successful. Whether offering insurance products to association members across the country, providing them with greater peace of mind, or through his volunteer work with several Pi Kappa Phi chapters, his demonstrated commitment to helping people is a trademark of his personality. The lessons Brother Morgan learned growing up in Louisiana – including hard work, industriousness and self-determination – are at the heart of this scholarship program.

This scholarship seeks to recognize academic performance by Pi Kappa Phi’s undergraduate members while also encouraging active and sustained involvement within students’ chapters, campuses and surrounding communities. At the core of the David D. Morgan Extra Mile National Scholars Program is the attitude that if you work hard, apply your talents and simply go the “extra mile” in all you do, you will find success in life.
