Phi Theta Kappa

Why Join PTK?

Gaining membership within Phi Theta Kappa will provide an exceptional opportunity for students to earn scholarship dollars in higher education. Simply by joining PTK, students will increase their transfer scholarship opportunities when they enter a four-year university. Mississippi universities are particularly keen to invest in their PTK transfer scholarships because they know that these students have a proven track record of academic success. To earn eligibility, Hinds students must…

• Earn a cumulative GPA of at least 3.5 on at least 12 hours of college-level courses
• Pay a one-time joining fee
• Enjoy lifetime membership as long as they keep their cumulative GPA above 3.25

In addition to earning scholarship dollars upon transfer from Hinds, PTK members enjoy opportunities for personal growth while at Hinds. For example, PTK members at Hinds may…

• Enroll in credit-bearing leadership courses
• Travel to regional and national conferences
• Enjoy camaraderie at weekly PTK meetings
• Take advantage of the countless resources on PTK’s website through a personalized account
