Honor Society of Phi Kappa Phi Literacy Grants

About Scholarship

The Literacy Grants program was initiated to mobilize members and resources of Phi Kappa Phi and the higher education community to champion literacy initiatives. Grants are available to Phi Kappa Phi chapters and individual members to fund ongoing literacy projects or to create new initiatives. The Society's commitment to the cause of literacy grows out of and is consistent with its mission. Literacy Grants are available to Phi Kappa Phi chapters and members. The project director applying for the grant must be an active (dues current) Phi Kappa Phi member. The applicant cannot be a sitting Phi Kappa Phi board member, divisional vice president, member of the Literacy Award committee or Society employee at time of application or announcement. The definition of literacy should be considered broadly. Proposals may be for new projects or for support of existing projects. Target groups may include children to adults. In the project description, please provide as much detail as possible about the number of people reached or benefiting from the project. Explain how you will announce and promote Phi Kappa Phi's sponsorship of your project. When preparing your budget, give consideration to how Phi Kappa Phi funds will best be used. If meals or transportation are critical to the success of your project, please explain this in detail. Otherwise, these expenses may be perceived as extraneous. Projects can be funded for two consecutive years. Funding is not available for a third year, but project managers may apply again in year four. No project may receive more than three grants. Please visit the award's website for more information.
