Our Scholars

Scholars-Page-Top
At the heart of the Phi Theta Kappa Foundation are the incredible students we support through our life-changing scholarship programs. Our scholars come from all walks of life, but are united through their dedication to academic excellence, leadership, and community service.

Whether they are completing their associate degrees, transferring to four-year institutions to earn bachelor’s degrees, or entering the workforce directly, our scholarship opportunities are as diverse as the community college students we serve. We understand that every student’s journey is unique, which is why we offer financial assistance across a broad spectrum of academic and career paths, from nursing and law enforcement to arts, technology, business, and beyond.

Each scholarship awarded is a testament to the promise and potential of our members, empowering them to pursue their dreams and create meaningful impact in their communities and careers.
