Phi Kappa Phi's board of directors recently approved the creation of two new award programs that will launch in 2007. Emerging Scholar Awards will recognize outstanding rising sophomores studying at Phi Kappa Phi member institutions. Love of Learning Awards will help fund post-baccalaureate studies and/or career development for active Phi Kappa Phi members.

Applications for the new award programs will be available in November. Additional information will be listed on the Phi Kappa Phi Scholarships & Awards Web page as it becomes available.

As part of the revisions to the Society's awards program, Phi Kappa Phi has discontinued the Promotion of Excellence Grants Program effective immediately. Reallocating funds from the PEG program allowed Phi Kappa Phi to help support the two new award programs that will reach a substantially larger portion of the membership.
