Make a donation to our Alumni Scholarship Fund!

In the Spring of 1998 over 20 Rho Delt Alumni led by Pete Stamer Class of 1961 and Bruce Boylan Class of 1963 joined forces to raise money towards what is now known as the Delta Tau Delta Rho Chapter Alumni Scholarship Fund. The principal balance in the scholarship fund is now in excess of $851K. This balance funds 8 annual awards at a total of over $27,000 per year. To date over $435,000 has been awarded to undergraduate Delts to offset the cost of their education.

Awards are named based on the consensus of the committee, however, those Delt Alumni who donate $25,000 or more to the fund have the opportunity to name their award. The current list of awards is shown below.

The Walter Stamer '64 Memorial Scholarship

Walter Stamer grew up in Sparta New Jersey and graduated from Newton High School. He earned a Mechanical Engineering Degree in 1964 and a Masters of Management Science from Stevens in 1970.

Walt was nicknamed the big “W” by his Delta Brothers based on his large size and his athletic ability. In addition to interscholastic and inter-fraternity sports he played varsity basketball and lacrosse. He was a part of the 1963-lacrosse team that won the Mid-Atlantic Conference Championship and was Co-Captain of the 1964 team. He scored 89 goals during his lacrosse career placing him fourth on the all time scoring list. After college he became an avid tennis player and won the North Carolina doubles championship five times in his respective age group. In 2010 Walt was inducted into the Stevens Athletics Hall of Fame.

Walt began his career with Union Carbide and rose through the ranks to become Director of Operations for Rhone-Poulenc at Research Triangle Park in North Carolina. Professionally, Walt was a registered professional engineer, and a member of the Society of Plastic Engineers. Walt Stamer represents the outstanding example of athletic and career accomplishment that is a part of the Stevens and Delta Tau Delta Tradition.

The Edward Dalton '60 Memorial Scholarship

While at Stevens, Edward Dalton, served in a wide range of leadership positions that led him being selected for Khoda, Gear and Triangle, Pi Delta Epsilon and the John Henry Newman Honorary Society. A Jersey City native, Ed attended Stevens on a General Motors Scholarship. As STUTE editor 1959-1960, he first protested, then ultimately accepted the demolition of the Stevens Castle. He memorialized its replacement by the Stevens Center with the STUTE's first color issue and an editorial entitled "The Proud Past Must Yield To An Even Prouder Future." The New York Collegiate Press Association recognized his efforts by naming him Editor of the Year in 1960.

When he was presented with the 1994 Stevens Honor Award, Ed's advice to his fellow alumni was simple "Dare to dream." Ed's dreams included completing an MS at Stevens in 1960 and a Harvard MBA in 1966. He then embarked on a 24-year career with New York Telephone.

Ed's most recognizable and lasting achievements evolved from his community service. He served as chairman of the Jersey City Planning Authority during the 1970's. Where others saw rotting piers, rusty railroad tracks, and abandoned factory buildings, Ed envisioned and fought for what we now know as Newport Center, Jersey City. It has become the paradigm for waterfront development throughout America.

As chairman of the Boys Club in the 1980's, Ed led an effort to replace its dilapidated clubhouse, transforming an abandoned coal bunker into contemporary facility that has received national recognition. It also introduced basketball to several youths who ultimately reached the NBA.

Although multiple sclerosis forced an end to his NYNEX career in 1990, Ed continued to teach in the Stevens telecommunications graduate program until 1994. Ed passed away in 2000.

The G. Bruce Boylan '63 Memorial Scholarship

This scholarship award is named for Bruce Boylan class of 1963. The first Delt scholarship award was established by the Class of 1991 in memory of Lee Allan Dowches. In 1998, Bruce joined Ken Tichy 1991 and Pete Stamer 1961 to expand the number of Delt scholarships. That year, the inaugural Dalton, Stamer, and Dowches awards were given. Through his efforts as chair of the Delt Scholarship Committee over the next 25 years, Bruce spearheaded the establishment of four additional scholarships (as well as inspiring this 8th award). mostly by reaching out to successful and caring Delt alumni. He accomplished this because he was a great networker, completely committed to Stevens and the Delts. As a result of his leadership and his networking ability, just under 200 scholarships were awarded to Delt undergraduates during his lifetime. At the time of his passing the endowed Delt scholarship fund was not only the largest Greek scholarship fund at Stevens, but it was also larger than all of the other Greek scholarship funds combined.

Bruce's outreach was not limited to scholarship. As assistant lacrosse coach Bruce connected with many undergrads and developed those contacts over numerous years. Bruce also ran the annual wine tasting seminar at Stevens Alumni Day and over the years entertained myriad Stevens alumni over dinners, lunches, and wine. John Takajian, Class of 1974 may have said it best in an informal obituary,

"...the underlying theme was his attachment to Stevens, the concept of Brotherhood, and a healthy dose of food and wine..."
