The Honor Society of Phi Kappa Phi Awards 2025 Fellowships
Baton Rouge, LA (07/22/2025) — The Honor Society of Phi Kappa Phi-the nation's oldest and most selective all-discipline collegiate honor society-today announced the recipients of its 2025 Fellowships. The fellowships, totaling $500,000, were awarded to 48 of the nation's top scholars at institutions with an active chapter of Phi Kappa Phi.
Established in 1932, the Phi Kappa Phi Fellowship has become the Society's signature award, providing funding for the first year of graduate or professional study. This year's program awarded two awards at $35,000 each, the 1897 Fellowship and the Sherrill Carlson Fellowship; six $15,000 Marcus L. Urann Fellowships, named for the Society's founder; and 40 fellowships of $8,500 each.
"Each year, our Fellowship recipients exemplify the academic excellence and leadership that define Phi Kappa Phi," said Society Executive Director and CEO, Dr. Bradley R. Newcomer. "These scholars inspire us with their potential to make a meaningful impact in their fields and communities, and we are proud to invest in their continued success."
The 2025 class of fellows represents students from nearly 50 colleges and universities across the nation. The recipients-drawn from all academic disciplines-are pursuing post-baccalaureate programs of study ranging from science and engineering to arts and humanities.
The selection process for a fellowship is based on the applicant's evidence of graduate potential, undergraduate academic achievement, service and leadership experience, letters of recommendation, personal statement of educational perspective and career goals, and acceptance in an approved graduate or professional program.
Phi Kappa Phi Fellowships are part of the Society's robust portfolio of award and grant programs, which gives more than $1 million each year to outstanding members and students on chapter campuses through study abroad grants, graduate fellowships, funding for post-baccalaureate development, member and chapter awards, and grants for local, national and international literacy initiatives.
