Graduate Fellowship
The Graduate Fellowship is for PKP student members entering their first year of graduate or professional study in the fall. One awardee will be selected by SIUE’s chapter and will be presented with $1,000. That awardee will then be entered into a society-wide competition, with awards valued at up to $35,000. Application details are available at phikappaphi.org/awards. As directed on the national site, candidates will submit all application materials to their chapter president. Chapter 203 will select one awardee. Then, the chapter will submit the winner’s materials through the national portal for a chance to compete society-wide for additional funds.
