Apply Today for a Phi Kappa Phi Award

Applications are being accepted for Session B of the Study Abroad Grant and Love of Learning Award programs.

Study Abroad Grants support undergraduates, both members and nonmembers, as they seek expanded knowledge and experience in their academic fields of study. Interested students do not have to be a member of Phi Kappa Phi to apply, but must attend an institution with an active chapter. Twenty-five $1,000 grants will be awarded during Session B. The deadline to apply is September 15.

Love of Learning Awards help fund post-baccalaureate professional development for active Phi Kappa Phi members including graduate or professional studies, doctoral dissertations, continuing education, travel related to teaching and research, career development and more. One hundred awards, at $500 each, will be distributed during Session B. The deadline to apply is October 1.

If you have questions about either program, please contact Kelli Partin at kpartin@phikappaphi.org or 800.804.9880, ext. 235.
