2027 Graduate Fellowship Award Application

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.

Established in 1932, the Fellowship Program annually provides funding to first-year graduate students who are pursuing post-baccalaureate degrees across all academic disciplines. Endorsed by their local chapter, Phi Kappa Phi Fellows go on to study at some of the nation’s top graduate schools.

Idaho State University's (ISU) Chapter #110 will select one candidate from among those of you joining our chapter and applying. More information about this fellowship opportunity is available on Phi Kappa Phi's Fellowship page or by contacting ISU Chapter President Dave Woods at davewoods@isu.edu
