Review Basis

Phi Theta Kappa Scholars demonstrate academic distinction. Selection is based on PTK Chapter Advisor nomination. Up to one candidate may be selected from a chapter. The scholarship requires completion of at least 15 non-NU transfer semester credit hours at the time of application (hours must be completed and reflected on an official transcript by the application deadline) with a minimum 3.250 cumulative transfer GPA. Must be working on a first bachelor's degree.

Renewability

This scholarship is for one year only. The commitment serves as a placeholder until a student is matched with a specific donor-funded scholarship. Once a match is finalized, the PTK Scholarship Commitment will be updated and replaced with the awarded scholarship(s) by a different name.

Transferability

This scholarship is offered by the University of Nebraska–Lincoln. The scholarship is not transferable in part or in whole to any other university or campus, including the University of Nebraska at Omaha (UNO), the University of Nebraska at Kearney (UNK), the Nebraska College of Technical Agriculture (NCTA) or the University of Nebraska Medical Center (UNMC). This scholarship will not cover the cost of tuition for classes taken at UNO, UNK, NCTA or UNMC.
