The national Phi Beta Kappa Society is accepting online applications for the Key into Public Service scholarship. 

The program connects undergraduate arts and sciences majors with pathways into local, state, and federal government service. The Society will select 20 successful applicants who will receive $5,000 academic scholarships and will participate in an educational conference experience in Washington, D.C., that will provide them with training, mentoring, and resources on pathways into public service careers. Phi Beta Kappa membership is not required, but students must attend a Phi Beta Kappa chapter institution and have a minimum 3.5 GPA.

Characteristics of ideal recipients include intellectual curiosity, breadth and depth in arts and sciences coursework, leadership propensity, and service to others. For inspiration, read about our previous winner, microbiology major Madeline Handy. 

Interested students can learn more and apply online until January 21, 2025, at PBK.org/ServiceScholarsApp.
