Scholarships

The E. Root Fitch Scholarship

The E. Root Fitch Scholarships were established by E. Root Fitch, Class of 1886, and are awarded annually to members of the Hamilton chapter of Delta Upsilon on the basis of need, scholastic standing, character and salutary influence on the life of the College


Originally from Westmoreland, NY, E. (Ebenezer) Root Fitch was a member of Delta Upsilon fraternity during his time on College Hill. Following his graduation, Phi Beta Kappa, he served as a member of the faculty from 1889 to 1934, and was awarded an honorary Ph.D. by the College. E. Root eventually settled in Dowagiac, MI. This scholarship award was established in 1949 via a bequest from his estate.
