The SIUE Chapter of Phi Kappa Phi National Honor Society is offering three awards to students. Applications are due by 4:30 p.m. Friday, March 2.
The awards include:
Undergraduate Scholarship: One scholarship valued at $750 (which must be applied to undergraduate or graduate tuition and fees at SIUE) may be awarded. Eligibility requirements: Must be an undergraduate with at least junior standing (60 hours) at the end of the fall semester 2017, must have a minimum GPA of 3.5, and must have earned at least 24 semester hours at SIUE by the end of the fall semester 2017. Students with a 100 percent waiver for tuition and fees are not eligible. Please note: Applicants DO NOT have to be PKP members. An additional award of $250 is available if the recipient is a PKP member or an inductee at the April 2018 ceremony.
Undergraduate Paper Contest: Three cash prizes of $200, $100 and $50 will be awarded for papers meeting the criteria. Submissions are to be scholarly essays or research papers on any academic topic that can be understood by a lay audience. This contest is open to ANY SIUE undergraduate.
Graduate Fellowship: Graduating seniors with superior academic and leadership records, who are or will be members of Phi Kappa Phi by the application deadline and who have applied to enroll as a full-time student in a post baccalaureate program of study for the 2018-19 academic year, are eligible to apply. One fellowship award of up to $1,000 will be given through our local chapter, and then this person will be entered into the national contest where 51 fellowships of $5,000 and six fellowships of $15,000 will be awarded. SIUE nominees have won a national award in the past!
