Key into Public Service scholarship application timeline

The Phi Beta Kappa Society, the nation’s most prestigious academic honor society, is now accepting online applications for our 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 faculty/staff 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.
