The Honor Society of Phi Kappa Phi Announces Study Abroad Grant Recipients
Baton Rouge, LA (05/23/2022) — The Honor Society of Phi Kappa Phi, the nation's oldest and most selective all-discipline collegiate honor society, today announced the recipients of a 2022 Phi Kappa Phi Study Abroad Grant. The $1,000 grants were awarded to 125 students across the nation.
The grants are designed to support undergraduates, both members and nonmembers from campuses that have Phi Kappa Phi chapters, as they seek expanded knowledge and experience in their academic fields by studying abroad.
"In today's increasingly interconnected world, studying abroad provides students with an opportunity to expand their cross-cultural knowledge and competencies," said Society Executive Director and CEO Dr. Bradley R. Newcomer. "We are pleased to support these students by helping them expand their horizons through our study abroad grant program."
The selection process for a study abroad grant is based on the applicant's academic achievement, campus and community service, relation of travel to academic preparation and career goals, a personal statement, letters of recommendation and acceptance into a study abroad program.
Established in 2001, the Study Abroad Grant Program is part of the Society's robust portfolio of award and grant programs, which gives more than $1 million each year to outstanding students and members through graduate and dissertation fellowships, funding for post-baccalaureate development, and grants for local, national and international literacy initiatives.
