The Phi Beta Kappa Society is a leading national advocate for the value of arts and sciences education. Key into Public Service highlights the wide range of career opportunities for liberal arts and sciences majors in local, state, or federal government. A cohort of 20 Service Scholars majoring in arts and sciences disciplines at Phi Beta Kappa chapter institutions will each receive a $5,000 undergraduate scholarship. Membership in the Phi Beta Kappa Society is not required to receive this scholarship.
Selected students are required to participate in an educational conference taking place in Washington, D.C. from June 25-29, 2025. This conference will highlight pathways into a variety of public service careers, provide a mentoring conversation matched to recipient interest, and offer other networking opportunities.
Examples of panels from previous conferences include graduate school preparation, working in federal/state/local government, and how to network effectively as a public service professional. Please Note: The scholarship and conference will NOT focus on nonprofit, NGOs, government consulting, think tanks, or lobbying positions.
