Phi Kappa Phi Announces 2022 Literacy Grant Recipients
The Honor Society of Phi Kappa Phi is excited to announce its 2022 Literacy Grant recipients. The grants of up to $2,500 were awarded to 13 Phi Kappa Phi members across the nation.
The Literacy Grant Program, established in 2003, is part of the Society’s robust portfolio of award and grant programs, which gives more than $1 million each year to outstanding students and members through study abroad grants, graduate fellowships, funding for post-baccalaureate development and member and chapter awards. Drawing from a multidisciplinary society of students and scholars from large and small institutions, the grants help fund projects ranging from traditional reading initiatives to those fostering learning in cultural, digital, health, historical literacy and beyond.

Newcomer.
