Please note: Due to the continuing worldwide uncertainty regarding the COVID-19 pandemic, The Honor Society of Phi Kappa Phi has made the decision to place its Study Abroad program on an indefinite hiatus. The Society will continue to monitor public health and travel advisory guidance to determine when to reopen the program in the future.

About the Award

Phi Kappa Phi Study Abroad Grants are designed to help support undergraduates as they seek knowledge and experience in their academic fields by studying abroad. Seventy-five $1,000 grants are awarded each year.

Applicants do not have to be Society members but must attend an institution with an active Phi Kappa Phi chapter.
