Apply for a Phi Kappa Phi Study Abroad Grant

By Lorena Roberts on September 12, 2018

Phi Kappa Phi, the nation’s oldest and most selective all-discipline collegiate honor society will award 25 study abroad grants to students nationwide in the amount of $1,000 each, according to a recent press release.

The deadline to apply is September 15. These grants are intended for undergraduate students seeking to expand their knowledge and experience in their field. You do not have to be a member of Phi Kappa Phi to apply.

Since 2001, Phi Kappa Phi has awarded more than $800,000 to students across the nation in the form of study abroad grants.

“Being awarded the Phi Kappa Phi Study Abroad Grant truly opened doors for me into places I had only dreamed of going before,” said Grace Kinner, a Session A recipient from Berea College. “Without receiving the award, I would not have been able to travel to Mexico to better my grasp of the Spanish language, understand nuances of cultures other than my own, and develop the independence that studying abroad requires of you. I am truly grateful to Phi Kappa Phi for believing in me and helping me to achieve my goals.”

Studying abroad can be expensive — a fact Phi Kappa Phi knows all about. In order to support students across the nation who are interested in studying abroad, they offer scholarships to help students finance their travels. Whether it’s your plane ticket, the program fee, or materials for class, the Phi Kappa Phi study abroad grant can be your saving grace when it comes to financing your semester abroad.

If you’re interested in becoming a member of Phi Kappa Phi, there are a few things you should know:

  • Membership into this prestigious organization is by invitation only.
  • The top 10% of seniors and graduate students, as well as the top 7.5% of juniors are invited to join.
  • Faculty, professional staff, and alumni who have achieved scholarly distinction also qualify.
