Welcome

The Phi Theta Kappa Foundation

As a Phi Theta Kappa alum, I know firsthand how life-changing this organization can be. PTK gave me more than a scholarship—it gave me confidence, community, and a sense of purpose that continues to guide me today.

Now, as Interim Executive Director of the Phi Theta Kappa Foundation, I have the incredible privilege of helping provide those same opportunities to the next generation of scholars and leaders. Every story of student transformation begins with someone like you who believes in the power of community college students.

Whether you are here to give, learn, or get involved—your support makes you part of something powerful.

At Phi Theta Kappa, we believe community college students are the future leaders of our nation. They are tomorrow’s doctors and nurses, teachers and engineers, first responders and entrepreneurs. They are scholars who, with the right opportunities, will shape stronger cities and communities and a brighter future for all of us.

That is why we see Phi Theta Kappa as more than an honor society—we are a student success engine, an incubator for potential. Through scholarships, leadership development, and transfer opportunities, we empower high-achieving community college students to not only imagine their futures, but to achieve them.

This work is only possible because of people like you. Your generosity fuels our mission and ensures that financial barriers never stand in the way of determination, talent, and hard work. Together, we are not just supporting students—we are investing in the future of healthcare, education, technology, public service, and countless other fields that keep our communities thriving.

Thank you for believing in our students. Thank you for standing with us. And thank you for making Phi Theta Kappa a place where ambition is nurtured, potential is realized, and lives are transformed.

Every Gift Has Power

Your generosity fuels ambition, inspires persistence, and makes higher education more accessible to students who are ready to lead. Thank you for believing in the potential of Phi Theta Kappa scholars.
