Interested eligible students can join PTK each fall between early September and December 31. Spring students may join between early February and May 31. Scholarship information is sent to Chapter Advisors, then communicated to PTK members. There are a variety of scholarships available through PTK for Transfer, Career Tech, Dual Enrollment, Nursing, and Veteran students.
The Coca-Cola Academic Team Scholarship is an example of the many scholarships offered through PTK. Applicants must be nominated by their college’s designated nominator and demonstrate outstanding academic achievement and significant campus or community leadership and service. Eligibility requirements include completing at least 12 hours of coursework toward an associate or bachelor’s degree, or at least 6 hours toward a 1-year certificate, and a 3.5 grade point average.
