2026 Fellowship Financial Awards
Do you have plans for graduate school? Each chapter has the opportunity to nominate one student for a National Fellowship financial award. These prestigious awards range from $8,500 to $35,000 and are awarded to 62 students who will be entering their first year of graduate study. If you are a member of PKP and will be a senior graduating in 2026, please consider applying through our chapter next year (March 2026).
Circle of Excellence Chapter Award Program
The Honor Society of Phi Kappa Phi recognizes outstanding chapters each year for their work through the Circle of Excellence Chapter Award Program. The Circle of Excellence Award Program recognizes chapters for their work in promoting excellence on the local campus and engaging the community of scholars each year.
Our chapter has achieved Circle of Excellence Platinum status for 2023-2024. This level of performance can only be achieved because of the efforts of our dedicated chapter officers and members.
