Phi Theta Kappa members have access to a variety of local, regional, and worldwide scholarship opportunities. Maintaining a high GPA (typically 3.5 or higher) and finishing a specific number of credit hours at a two-year college are usually requirements for membership.
You must first join Phi Theta Kappa in order to be eligible for scholarships. Scholarships and other resources are made available to members of numerous Phi Theta Kappa chapters at different community colleges.
Access to almost $1 million in scholarship opportunities, more than $41 million in scholarships for members of the All-State Academic Team, and recognition on a state and national level are all available through the Phi Theta Kappa Scholarship Application.
To ascertain eligibility, applicants must complete an application-integrated quiz. Shared tabs will open for completion if a student qualifies for programs on this application. Should the quiz result in a student’s ineligibility, the scholarship application will stay inactive.
