The Honor Society of Phi Kappa Phi administers the Graduate Research Grant annually to support members attending graduate school. The program funds research experiences that contribute to career development, including conducting research or presenting research findings. Its focus is both the research activity itself and the experience gained through that work.
Selection considers why an applicant seeks support, the benefit of the proposed experience, and its impact on professional development. The Society also considers the research’s contribution to the applicant’s field of study and the public good, alongside the proposed budget. Funding must support expenses associated with the proposed research experience.
