A new scholarship opportunity has been announced by the Phi Kappa Phi Chapter 296 of Texas A&M International University (TAMIU). The scholarship recognizes and promotes academic excellence in all fields of higher education and engages the community of scholars in service to others.
Dubbed the “Love of Learning” Scholarship, it represents a long-cherished goal, said Chapter President, Dr. Lola Norris. “We’re happy to be able to offer members a scholarship that delivers on that goal,” Dr. Norris said.
Chapter president-elect Dr. Tariq Tashtoush noted the scholarship’s name reflects Phi Kappa Phi’s mission. “This scholarship recognizes the love of learning and promotes academic excellence in all fields of higher education—while also engaging our community of scholars in service to others,” Dr. Tashtoush said.
Two scholarships will be available and are valued at $500 each. Criteria for selection include that the applicant must be an active member in Phi Kappa Phi; a full-time undergraduate or graduate student; provide a one-page resume and a personal statement of 300-500 words. The deadline for applications to be submitted is Saturday, May 15. Applications are available here.
The Honor Society of Phi Kappa Phi is the nation’s oldest honor society. TAMIU’s Chapter 296 was first installed in 2005. Phi Kappa Phi annually inducts 30,000 students, faculty, professional staff, and alumni. In March, the TAMIU Chapter inducted 70 new members in a virtual ceremony. Once inducted, Phi Kappa Phi members gain a lifelong passport to a global network of academic and professional opportunities.
