Phi Kappa Phi awards 2024 Study Abroad Grants

Sep. 20—The Honor Society of Phi Kappa Phi is proud to announce the 2024 Study Abroad Grant recipients. The grants, worth $1,000, were awarded to 125 students nationwide.

Students earning the award include:

— Madelyn Mastin of London, a junior at University of Kentucky majoring in neuroscience will study abroad in Sorrento, Italy.

— Kennedy Lamb of London, a sophomore at University of Kentucky majoring in human health sciences will study abroad in Lisbon, Portugal.

The grants are designed to support undergraduates, both members and nonmembers from campuses that have Phi Kappa Phi chapters, as they seek expanded knowledge and experience in their academic fields by studying abroad.

The selection process for a study abroad grant is based on the applicant's academic achievement, campus and community service, relation of travel to academic preparation and career goals, a personal statement, letters of recommendation and acceptance into a study abroad program.

Established in 2001, the Study Abroad Grant Program is part of the Society's robust portfolio of award and grant programs, which currently gives $1.3 million each year to outstanding students and members through graduate and dissertation fellowships, funding for post-baccalaureate development, and grants for local, national and international literacy initiatives.
