In 2007 Phi Kappa Phi’s board of directors approved the creation of a new awards program. The Emerging Scholar Award recognizes outstanding rising sophomores studying at Phi Kappa Phi member institutions. Each year, Phi Kappa Phi will grant 60 awards in the amount of $250 to students who meet all the following eligibility requirements:
PLEASE NOTE: You must have earned no more than a total of 60 semester hours as of July 15, 2009 (excluding all AP, Credit by Exam, transfer credits, etc.) during your post high school academic career.
“This award is part of Phi Kappa Phi's continuing effort to respond to the needs of undergraduate students in American higher education,” said Society Executive Director Dr. Perry A. Snyder.
