Scholarships

As part of our contribution to insuring a bright future for new sholars and leaders, we offer scholarships to the active members of Phi Theta Kappa.

We have also initiated a means of providing financial assistance to enable and encourage members to attend Regional conferences/conventions when they are facing financial challenges.

Missouri Leaders of Promise Scholarship

The purpose of the Missouri Leaders of Promise Scholarship was established in 2002 to provide Phi Theta Kappa members with financial resources to help defray educational expenses while enrolled in a two-year college and to develop leadership potential by engaging students in Society programs.

The first payment will be made by 1 August 2008.

These scholarships are given three times a year at each of the regional convention. The names of two chapters in attendance are drawn randomly during the last session of the convention and those chapters each receive a check for $100. This scholarship can be used to help defray the cost of sending members to the convention or as the chapter sees fit. Remember, you must send at least one member of your chapter to the convention to be eligible to receive this scholarship.
