Education is the primary reason to attend any university.  Saint Louis University offers an excellent Jesuit education. The Epsilon Upsilon chapter seeks to be a resource that members can use to help themselves succeed academically.  Older members have often taken the classes that the younger members are in and can help them with questions about the material.  Brothers and Associate Members participate in study hours. The chapter also actively maintains a test file to help students prepare for future exams. 

To honor members who excel academically, the national fraternity offers several merit based undergraduate scholarships available only to members of Phi Tau.  This year the following scholarships will be presented by the Phi Kappa Tau Foundation to active members from across the country:
