EXPLORING NEW HORIZONS

The love of learning was the motivation behind the Society’s inception in 1897, and 125 years later, it still holds strong.

The Society announced the expansion of its robust award and grants program at the 47th Biennial Convention in Orlando, Florida, in August, adding two new awards, the Pioneer Program exclusively for undergraduates and the Mary Todd Sabbatical Award, named for former Society Executive Director Dr. Mary Todd.

In 2023, Phi Kappa Phi will provide 50 awards at $1,000 each to undergraduate members through its new Pioneer Program, designed to encourage and reward undergraduate members for developing the research, engagement, and leadership skills necessary to become a successful scholar.

The Mary Todd Sabbatical Award will honor one faculty member with a $50,000 award to support a sabbatical year or similar reassignments of duties. For full eligibility requirements, visit www.phikappaphi.org/sabbatical.

In addition to the two new programs, the Society’s Dissertation Fellowship received increased funding to provide 15 eligible members with $10,000 awards and the Love of Learning program will now fund 200 members with $1,000 each to help fund postbaccalaureate professional development.

“As we know, awards are what we do at Phi Kappa Phi,” said Society Executive Director and CEO Dr. Bradley R. Newcomer. “Thanks to our wonderful donors, we continue to grow these programs and funding levels. I look forward to seeing the impact these new awards have on our members and volunteers!”
