On behalf of UConn's Phi Beta Kappa chapter, I'm happy to announce this scholarship opportunity from the national organization. You do not need to be a member of Phi Beta Kappa to apply - and several UConn students have received this award in recent years. If this matches your interests and qualifications, please consider applying!
Susanna Cowan, PhD - UConn PBK President
The deadline for application is 1/21/25.
$5,000 Scholarships Available to Undergraduates
The Phi Beta Kappa Society is now accepting online applications for the Key into Public Service scholarship. The program connects undergraduate arts and sciences majors with pathways into local, state, and federal government service. The Society will select 20 successful applicants who will receive $5,000 academic scholarships and will participate in an educational conference experience in Washington, D.C., that will provide them with training, mentoring, and resources on pathways into public service careers. Phi Beta Kappa membership is not required, but students must attend a Phi Beta Kappa chapter institution and have a minimum 3.5 GPA.
Characteristics of ideal recipients include intellectual curiosity, breadth and depth in arts and sciences coursework, leadership propensity, and service to others. Interested students can learn more and apply online until January 21, 2025, at PBK.org/ServiceScholarsApp. If you know of any students who might be interested, please help us spread the word on social media with readymade content from the Society’s Twitter, LinkedIn, and Instagram feeds.
