Acacia Fraternity Endowed Scholarship

The Acacia Fraternity Endowed Scholarship was founded by five individuals – René Garza, David Dunlap, Steve Lappin, Ed Knight and Harry Craig – all Acacia members in the 1970s. They established this award, along with contributions from more than 20 of their peers, as a way to honor their fraternity’s intramural achievements and recognize exceptional RecSports student employees.
