Membership in Phi Theta Kappa International Honor Society will open new doors for your academic journey. The organization offers a myriad of opportunities for scholarships, intellectual enrichment and personal development through programs based on Phi Theta Kappa's four hallmarks of Scholarship, Leadership, Service and Fellowship.
Part-time students may be eligible for membership IF they have accumulated the total number of hours over two or more academic terms used by your institution to designate full-time status (usually 12 hours on a semester system). The decision to declare part-time students eligible is an option of the local chapter and should be addressed in each chapter's bylaws. Phi Theta Kappa Headquarters strongly encourages the eligibility of part-time students, and currently 92 percent of all chapters allow part-time students to be inducted.
As a Phi Theta Kappa member, you may apply for more then $36 million dollars in tranferable scholarships in which are provided by more then 600 senior institutions.
