College students are continuously seeking new ways in which they can finish their education without financial worry. For this reason, various awards and similar opportunities need to be taken full advantage of.

According to a recent press release, Phi Kappa Phi, which is the nation’s oldest honor society as well as one of the most selective in regards to all disciplines, is accepting applications for the 2020 awards program.

The program for 2020 includes awards for, but not limited to, Fellowships, Study Abroad Grants, Love of Learning Awards, Literacy Grants, Scholar/Artist and Distinguished Service Awards.

These awards not only provide funding for worthy students, but they also enhance a student’s ability to learn, through graduate programs, professional development, etc.

According to Chisom Ogoke, a Phi Kappa Phi award recipient, “I’m so grateful to Phi Kappa Phi, not only for giving me the opportunity to start graduate school undistracted by finances, but also giving me the encouragement to pursue my studies knowing that my dream career is in reach and that opportunities are out there.”
