Phi Theta Kappa Scholarships

PTK Opens More Doors

PTK Scholarship Types and Details

Phi Theta Kappa logo All Phi Theta Kappa scholarships require that a student be enrolled at a two-year college in a minimum of 6 college-level credit hours at the time they are completing the scholarship application. The Phi Theta Kappa scholarships are listed on their website: Visit ptk.org and then click “Scholarships” on the menu bar. Click “Apply Now” to access the scholarship application and the eligibility quiz, which will help you determine if you qualify for current scholarship offerings.

  • Spring Scholarship Application: Open every year from March 1 to May 15. Scholarships in this application are typically for newer two-year college students who have between 12–36 credit hours and will be enrolled for two more semesters following the application. These scholarships often must be used for associate degree coursework. The eligibility quiz will help you determine whether or not you qualify.
  • Fall Scholarship Application: Open every year from September 15 to December 1. Scholarships in this application are typically for more experienced two-year college students who have 36 or more credit hours. Some scholarships are for transfer, meaning funds are released only after proof of enrollment at a four-year college is provided. Students must be enrolled at the two-year college at least through December to apply. The eligibility quiz will help you determine whether or not you qualify.
