University of Utah Chapter

The University of Utah has had a chapter of the National Honor Society of Phi Kappa Phi since 1922. The Office of the Vice President for Student Affairs serves as home for the chapter. Phi Kappa Phi recognizes and encourages superior scholarship in all academic disciplines. We invite members from the top 10% of seniors, the top 7.5% of juniors, and outstanding graduate students who must be nominated by their departments. We also have selection committees who pick faculty and staff to be initiated each year.

Phi Kappa Phi graduate fellowship

The National Office conducts a graduate fellowship competition providing sixty $5,000 scholarships and forty $2,000 scholarships to support first-year graduate or professional study. Each of the over 300 chapters in Phi Kappa Phi may nominate one candidate. Since 1994, the University of Utah chapter has had 11 winners of the national competition.

The selected candidate also receives a $1,500 scholarship for being the Utah Chapter nominee, regardless of the outcome in the national competition. Applications may be printed in PDF format from the National Honor Society of Phi Kappa Phi scheduling and awards page. The deadline to turn in the application will be February of 2008 to 206 Park Building, c/o Glenda VanWagenen, Student Affairs Vice President's Office.

Scholar of Promise Award - APPLICATION

The University of Utah Chapter of the National Honor Society of Phi Kappa Phi announces the Prizes: $1500 Awards (to be awarded after the first week of Fall Semester 2008). At the time of application, the candidate must be a full-time (12+ credit hours), matriculated undergraduate who has completed 30 credit hours at the University of Utah and must enroll full-time at the University of Utah Fall Semester 2008.

The primary objective of Phi Kappa Phi is the promotion of superior scholarship in all fields of study at the University. The Scholar of Promise award aims to encourage and support students of high academic achievement. The amount of the award is $1500 which may be used for any education-related expenses at the University. Each winner must enroll as a full-time undergraduate student at the University of Utah in Fall Semester 2008 during which the award will be given.
