The Honor Society of Phi Kappa Phi—the nation’s oldest and
most selective collegiate honor society for all academic disciplines—today
announced the recipients of a 2022 Love of Learning Award. The $500 awards were
given to 200 Phi Kappa Phi members.
Love of Learning Awards are designed to help fund
post-baccalaureate professional development for active Phi Kappa Phi members
including graduate or professional studies, doctoral dissertations, continuing
education, travel related to teaching and research, career development and
more.
“For 125 years our motto, let the love of learning
rule humanity, has guided Phi Kappa Phi. We are pleased to support our members
through the Love of Learning Awards. These members embody Phi Kappa Phi’s
motto, and we celebrate their lifelong learning through these awards,” said the
Society Executive Director and CEO, Dr. Bradley R. Newcomer.
Established in 2007, the Love of Learning Program gives 200
awards annually in support of post-baccalaureate professional development. The
selection process for a Love of Learning Award is based on the applicant’s
academic achievement, campus and community service, intended use of award funds
as it relates to academic and career goals, and a personal statement.
Since 1932, Phi Kappa Phi’s award programs have recognized
members and students on its chapter campuses for outstanding academic
achievement. In addition to the Love of Learning Program, Phi Kappa Phi awards
graduate and dissertation fellowships, study abroad grants, and grants for
local, national and international literacy initiatives. Each year $1.3 million
is awarded through programs that recognize nearly 500 individuals annually.
