Phi Kappa Phi Suspends Study Abroad Grant Program
Baton Rouge, LA (03/17/2020) — The Honor Society of Phi Kappa Phi, the nation's oldest and most selective all-discipline honor society, today announced the temporary suspension of its Study Abroad Grant program.
The Society has been closely monitoring the outbreak of COVID-19 and based on the current uncertainty regarding travel, the Study Abroad Grant program has been temporarily suspended. Applications and letters of recommendation that have been received for the 2020 competition will be kept on file and reviewed in the upcoming academic year (Fall).
Each year the Society awards seventy-five $1,000 Study Abroad Grants to help support undergraduates as they seek knowledge and experience in their academic fields by studying abroad.
If you have questions about your application, please contact Kelli Partin at kpartin@phikappaphi.org. We appreciate your patience at this time.
