Fellowship

The Honor Society of Phi Kappa Phi currently awards fifty-one Fellowships of $5,000 each and five at $15,000 each to members entering the first year of graduate or professional study. Each Phi Kappa Phi chapter may select one candidate from among its local applicants to compete for the Society-wide awards.

We are proud to present the 2011 Phi Kappa Phi Fellowship recipients:

Marcus L. Urann $15,000 Fellowship Recipients

Nicholas Birger studied Political Science at the United States Naval Academy and displays a remarkable interest and commitment to learning about government and national security. In addition to his outstanding academic background, Birger also worked with The Child is Innocent, an organization providing leadership training to youths in Northern Uganda. Described by his faculty mentors as “a leader with vision and dedication,” he plans to pursue a Master of Public Policy at Harvard University.
Benjamin Frandsen studied Physics and German Studies at Brigham Young University. In addition to an excellent background in physics and mathematics, Frandsen’s interests in the humanities and his major in German are very impressive. A faculty mentor said his “capacity for rigorous scientific inquiry, superior communication skills, maturity, gifts of leadership, exemplary character and overall breadth of accomplishment lead me to conclude that he is destined for great things.”  Frandsen’s decision to pursue a Ph.D. in condensed matter physics at Columbia University will allow him to have a significant scientific impact.
Bassem Mikhael studied Economics at Carnegie Mellon University and gained valuable research experience at the University of Pittsburgh Cancer Institute.  His leadership abilities are demonstrated through his experience in co-founding the UNICEF chapter at Carnegie Mellon University.  In describing his commitment to becoming a physician, Mikhael wrote “I’m ready to stretch out my own hand and give my mind, heart, and spirit to improve care, one patient, one person, at a time.” He will pursue a Medical Doctorate degree at Harvard Medical School.

Named Fellowships

Several of Phi Kappa Phi's Fellowships have been endowed by generous donors. Below is a list that details the Society's named fellowships and the contributors who made them possible:
1 Slater Fellow - In 1985, on his 95th birthday, Dr. James R. Slater, emeritus professor of biology at the University of Puget Sound, became the first member of the Society to make a special contribution to have a fellowship bear his name.  In awarding the Slater Fellow, preference is given to the top scorer whose undergraduate field is in the biological sciences.
2 Walter and Adelheid Hohenstein Fellows - Both Dr. Walter and Adelheid Hohenstein were initiated into Phi Kappa Phi at the University of Maryland. Dr. Hohenstein was actively involved with Phi Kappa Phi for more than three decades.  In 2004, the first Hohenstein Fellow is awarded to a top ranking nominee in each of the 5 regions: Northeast, Southeast, North Central, South Central, Western and one recipient from the University of Maryland when applicable. If there is no appropriate recipient from the University of Maryland, then a Hohenstein Fellow should be selected on the basis of distinguished research or service.
3 Kathleen Greey Fellow - The Greey Fellowship was crested in 2001 to honor the memory of the late Kathleen Greey, a longtime chapter officer at Portland State University, who provided funds for this purpose in her estate plan. Preference will be given to one of the top-ranking nominee whose undergraduate field is other than the basic sciences.
4 Ruth E. Brasher Fellow - In recognition of years of dedicated services and in appreciation for her providing a planned gift to endow a fellowship, the Phi Kappa Phi Board of Directors created a named fellowship in honor of Dr. Ruth E. Brasher. The fellowship is awarded to the nominee from Chapter #058 at Brigham Young University should that nominee be chosen as a Fellowship recipient. If there is no fellowship recipient from this chapter, preference will be given to a recipient whose record of service is exceptional and/or whose undergraduate major is domestic and family science, should there be one.
5 Marjorie Schoch Fellow is awarded to a top ranking nominee. Mrs. Schoch earned a B.A. from Butler University and a Master of Library Science from the University of Illinois. She also enjoyed photography and travel.  She was a lifelong supporter of her local chapter and Phi Kappa Phi Foundation for which The Society has established a named fellowship in her memory.
6 Alfred M. Wolfe Fellow is awarded in his memory to a top ranking nominee majoring in Agriculture, Classical Latin/Ancient Greek, or English.
7 The Deborah and John Yeakel Fellow - Dr. John A. Yeakel and his wife Deborah Yeakel established the fellowship in 2011 to support graduate education for student nominees from the state of New Mexico.  In the event that there are no nominees from a New Mexico chapter, the award will be given to any nominee pursuing graduate education in the fields of international relations, peace studies or conflict resolution.  In the event that an individual meeting either criteria is not available, the award will be given to any nominee pursuing graduate education in any field other than law.
8 Yoerger Presidential Fellow - This fellowship, established in 2001 as a result of the generosity of Past National President Roger Yoerger is awarded each year to a student in one of the basic science disciplines (i.e., engineering, agriculture) rather than law or medicine.
