FROM THE

PRESIDENT & CEO

Every day, I have the privilege of hearing from community college students whose lives have changed because someone believed in their potential—someone who made the next step in their journey possible. More often than not, that “someone” is a four-year college partner like you.

Phi Theta Kappa exists to recognize and support high-achieving community college students, and we are proud to stand alongside colleges and universities that do the same. Together, we are building more than transfer pathways—we are building confidence, expanding opportunity, and helping students see themselves not just as graduates, but as leaders, scholars, and change-makers.

In these pages, we celebrate the colleges that go above and beyond for transfer students—not just by offering scholarships, but by offering guidance, encouragement, and a true sense of belonging. You understand that transfer success requires more than admission letters. It requires commitment. And you’ve shown it.

Thank you for partnering with us. Your dedication helps students dream bigger, aim higher, and complete their journey to a bachelor’s degree. We are grateful for the role you play in their stories—and in ours.

Lynn Tincher-Ladner, Ph.D. President & CEO Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society

PTK PARTNERS MATTER Catherine Derival Member Polk State College, Florida

“PTK Connect changed the way I look for transfer opportunities by prompting me to seek out institutions that offer gift aid incentives in acknowledgment of my time being a PTK member. This tells me that these institutions pay attention to the honorable work PTK does not only as a source of student research opportunities, but also as a non-profit organization advocating for education accessibility.”

“As an international student, the PTK transfer scholarship, and later the fulltuition Transfer Trustee Scholarship, allowed me to pursue my education without placing a financial strain on my parents, making it possible for me to afford my education independently. What sealed my decision was knowing Dhruv Sethi that Rider not only invests in its students academically but also values PTK Alumnus transfer students as a vital part of the campus community.”

ADVANCING YOUR CAREER THROUGH PTK PARTNERSHIP Professional Development Opportunities for Transfer Recruiters When most recruiters think of Phi Theta Kappa (PTK), they think of high-achieving community college students. What they may miss is how partnering with PTK can support their professional growth. We’ve gathered a few examples here, but the opportunities are abundant.

Support Scholars: Grow Your Skills While Giving Back PTK administers over $2 million in scholarships annually across a variety of national programs. Behind each scholarship award is a team of volunteer readers who review applications and help identify the best of the best to advance as scholarship recipients.

As Victor Moore from Texas Tech University learned, the impact of serving goes far beyond reviewing applications. "As a former member of not only PTK, but PBK and PKP, I have been blessed to be recognized for my academic achievements. I feel being on the scholarship review team is a way to continue that idea of recognition—giving others an opportunity to move forward within their chosen fields, seeing their achievements, and celebrating with them as a silent partner.”

In a field where professional development pathways aren’t always clearly defined, experiences like this can help build transferable skills—like decision making, evaluation, and student engagement—while also enhancing your resume.

Reclassification and Promotion: Learning from the Field Advancing within a university setting can feel like navigating a maze, but professionals like Alyssa O'Brien, Associate Director of Admissions at Hampshire College, show how intentional engagement beyond day-to-day responsibilities can open new doors.

“Working with PTK students has deepened my understanding of the diverse experiences of community college students,” Alyssa says. “High-achieving, driven PTK students often know exactly what they’d like to pursue, which pushes me to better understand our areas of study at Hampshire and the overall transfer student experience.”

Alyssa says the key is listening. “Each PTK student has a unique and powerful story that shapes their goals and dreams. By taking the time to actively listen, I can provide guidance that aligns with each student’s needs.” This approach now informs how she works with all students, including those in her first-year recruitment territory.

Attending PTK Catalyst in Kansas City connected her with students she wouldn’t typically meet in person, and sponsoring lunch for the New England Region’s annual spring conference reinforced Hampshire’s visible commitment to transfer success.

Alyssa’s story reminds us that aligning our efforts with student success metrics, building authentic relationships, and demonstrating broader impact can be strategic moves for career advancement.

INVEST IN SUCCESS PTK partnerships bolster transfer recruitment success and enhance the visibility of four-year institutions. As you work to level up your partnership, here are helpful metrics to justify requests for budget approval and administrative support.

“PTK Connect has been an extremely vital tool for me. Being able to filter schools by scholarships offered, tuition costs, and even state has been more helpful than I could have imagined. I’ve been on the PTK site at least once a week to help me dwindle down the colleges on my list to apply for.”

PTK Virtual Transfer Fairs

“I helped lobby for PTK transfer scholarships by leveraging competitor awards and creating exclusive events and opportunities for PTK members which has truly paid off for TCNJ. With that mindset shift, we awarded over 60 PTK scholarships this past fall, and we anticipate more this coming Spring/ Fall 2026, all while increasing our strength of transfers pool both on the community college and four-year institution side. 20% of our incoming Fall 2025 class consisted of PTK students! The investment has paid dividends both in enrollment and the quality of academic discussion in the classroom and retention.” ­— Brian Switay, Associate Director of Transfer & International Students at The College of New Jersey

OPPORTUNITIES FOR INSTITUTIONS Expanding Transfer Access Through PTK Partnerships Restructuring Scholarships Often, our partners find that small modifications to existing scholarships can yield big results­—attracting new applicants and increasing conversion rates of admits to enrolled students.

When Northern Arizona University revised scholarship criteria to be more flexible about enrollment gaps, they removed a barrier for transfer students and reinforced their reputation as an adaptive, student-focused institution.

“Making this change has widened the door for many transfer students who have chosen to take a break between enrollments. We hope this change will have a positive impact on our students who have chosen to continue their higher education journey after that break in enrollment.” —Lexie Freedman at Northern Arizona University Elmira College in New York is launching an innovative financial aid model designed specifically for Phi Theta Kappa students. “We've put together an innovative combination of scholarships and grants that will help cover the costs of full-time tuition for eligible New York state PTK members pursuing their baccalaureate degree as a full-time student. Look for more information about this later in September. In the meantime, all PTK members, regardless of state or international residency, receive the EC PTK Scholarship, which is the largest academic award given to transfers at Elmira College. This and the newly created scholarship are renewed each year for students who meet the criteria.” —Dennis M. Kelly, Vice President for Enrollment Management, Elmira College, New York At Elmhurst University they understand that shifting goals and circumstances may lead students to pursue a second degree—and that it's not always financially feasible.

“If students are admissible to Elmhurst, we feel it is important to support them and make a second degree more accessible by awarding a scholarship. It can be frustrating to students when the desire to return to school is there, only to learn that the financial support they may have qualified for as an undergraduate is no longer available. Many students feel that without that financial piece, it simply

isn’t doable. In awarding the $15,000 Post-baccalaureate Scholarship, we hope to provide second-degree seeking students with the support needed to earn their desired degree.” —Kristina Black, Director of Academic Partnerships and Transfer Admission, Elmhurst University

Insights from PTK Direct Admission Partners “Nazareth is in its second cycle of running a direct admit program for transfer students, and we’ve already seen promising results. Students are responding positively to the clarity and confidence this model provides. Our partnership with PTK has only strengthened our visibility and deepened trust among highachieving transfer students.” —Christie Smith, Associate Vice President of University Admissions and Enrollment, Nazareth University, New York “At Nebraska Wesleyan University, we’ve proudly offered direct admission to Phi Theta Kappa members for the past two years—removing unnecessary hurdles and recognizing the academic and leadership potential of PTK members.

“When we learned about PTK’s Direct Admissions initiative, we jumped in—because we share the same mission: to open doors for talented, driven community college students who are ready for what’s next. When students find NWU through PTK Connect, they can trust that we believe in them and the future they’re building.” —Denice Archer Galusha, Director of Transfer Admissions, Nebraska Wesleyan University “Lipscomb University's admission team noticed that PTK students had higher application completion rates and are usually a great fit, so we wanted to streamline their admission process. Now that Phi Theta Kappa is offering a Direct Admission partnership, it made perfect sense for us to participate.

“Direct Admission allows PTK students to focus on what really matters— exploring Lipscomb as a potential fit without the added stress of wondering whether they will be admitted. Our hope is that more students will consider Lipscomb now that the uncertainty around admission is no longer a barrier.”

—Autumn Hooton, Assistant Director of Admissions, Lipscomb University, Tennessee

PTK PARTNERS MATTER “My biggest concern when deciding to go to a junior college was the fear of not being able to find many transfer scholarships after graduation. Phi Theta Kappa has been the answer to my financial worries. It has allowed me to work toward my goal of becoming a physical therapist, and ultimately has helped me further my educational journey. For this I am eternally grateful.”
