By Megan (Weyrauch) Johnson on November 30, 2015

Since 1933, Phi Kappa Phi has awarded fellowships and grants to members and students on its chapter campuses, awarding more than $500,000 annually through programs that last year recognized over 270 individuals.

The Society’s first award for institutions, The Excellence in Innovation Award, is a $100,000 award sponsored by The Honor Society of Phi Kappa Phi, the nation’s oldest and most selective collegiate honor society for all academic disciplines, according to a recent press release.

Beginning in 2016 and each biennium, this award will recognize one college or university for achievements in finding powerful substantive solutions to improve the lives of others and create systematic large-scale change. The winning institution will receive $100,000 in recognition of its best practice in response to the changes and challenges facing higher education in the 21st century.

“The Phi Kappa Phi innovation award is a fitting extension of our mission to recognize and promote excellence in higher education by lifting up the transformative work being done on college and university campuses across the country,” said Dr. Mary Todd, Phi Kappa Phi executive director, in the press release.

The application period for colleges and universities to apply for the Excellence in Innovation Award is open until December 10, 2015. Find award criteria, eligibility, timeline details and more on PhiKappaPhiInnovation.org.

Phi Kappa Phi annually inducts approximately 30,000 students, faculty, professional staff and alumni, and the Society has chapters at more than 300 select colleges and universities in North America and the Philippines. Find more information at PhiKappaPhi.org.
