The Honor Society of Phi Kappa Phi currently awards 40 fellowships of $8,500 each, six at $15,000 each, and two at $35,000 each to members entering the first year of graduate or professional study. Each active Phi Kappa Phi chapter may select one candidate from among its local applicants to compete for the Society-wide awards. Established in 1932, the Honor Society of Phi Kappa Phi Fellowship annually provides funding to first-year graduate students who are pursuing post-baccalaureate degrees across all academic disciplines. Endorsed by their local chapter, Phi Kappa Phi Fellows go on to study at some of the nation's top graduate schools. Applicants must be an active (dues paid) member through April 15, 2026, or have accepted the invitation to join and be initiated by June 30, 2026. They must be seeking enrollment in a graduate/professional school program to begin between May 1, 2026, and February 1, 2027. Selection is based on the applicant's promise of success in graduate or professional study, as evidenced by: academic achievement, including transcripts, honors and awards, relevant research experience and samples of creative work; service and leadership experience, on and off campus; two letters of recommendation; personal statement; work sample; and acceptance or application at an approved graduate or professional program.
