Balances of funds held by the SigEp Educational Foundation, SigEp Fraternity and SigEp National Housing are now available to view in mySigEp. Each quarter, the previous quarter’s fund activity will be uploaded for your convenience. The “AVC Fund Balances” page is also where you can request funds for scholarships, program sponsorships, grants, reimbursements and withdrawals.
Keep in mind – some SigEp Educational Foundation funds operate like a checking account, with the full balance available for immediate use, while others are endowments with 4.25% of the fund’s 12 Quarter Rolling Average available for use. If you have questions about your fund’s distribution policy, please view the details of your fund on mySigEp.

Newly Established Funds
If you’ve recently consolidated multiple funds or established a new fund, you may not see it in your AVC Funds Dashboard until next quarter. Fund balances are reported on a quarterly basis approximately 45-60 days after the quarter’s close. If you don’t yet see the fund, it means there is no fund performance activity to show yet.
