In just a few weeks, the new academic year will commence — but August also marks National Make-A-Will Month, an observance that highlights the peace of mind and security that emerges from creating a legally valid estate plan. Thanks to your crucial support, Phi Kappa Phi remains committed to engaging our community of scholars to achieve academic excellence and serve their communities. As we continue to empower countless students and faculty members nationwide to pursue ambitious educational and professional dreams, we encourage you to empower your own future this month with a special resource.

In partnership with FreeWill, we’ve made it possible for you to make a will in less than 20 minutes and at no cost today, enabling you to show up for the people and causes you love — and even include an optional legacy gift to Phi Kappa Phi in the process.

Why should I make a will?
No matter your age or circumstances, everyone needs a legal will to plan for the future. Making a will is an essential way to protect your loved ones, dictate a plan for your assets, and create a lasting commitment to the causes you value, including, if you choose, our legacy of superior scholarship.

Why should I create a legacy gift to Phi Kappa Phi?
Creating a legacy, also known as a bequest, with Phi Kappa Phi is a powerful way to support our mission of fostering academic excellence and serving our community for generations to come. It represents your lasting commitment to our society's mission, while costing you nothing today.

If an immediate cash gift isn’t right for you, or if you want a more concrete, long-term investment in the next generation of Phi Kappa Phi scholars, consider a legacy gift in your will today.
