💯 HONOR SOCIETY: Waive a Phi Theta Kappa membership fee for an honors student

$2,000 – Waive Phi Theta Membership for 25 students

Phi Theta Kappa is an international honors society for two-year colleges. Students with 15 semester hours at HCC and at least a 3.5 GPA become eligible to join Phi Theta Kappa. Students who join must pay a one-time lifetime membership fee of $75, which is a barrier for many students. By supporting this fund, you will cover the cost of membership for our students.

Phi Theta Kappa benefits:

• Recognizes and promotes student academic achievement
• Opportunities for leadership and professional skills
• Phi Theta Kappa specific scholarships
• Career path planning and network building

Your gift will:

• Provide 25 students with equal access to Phi Theta Kappa
• Make them feel recognized and celebrated for their academic excellence

“Our PTK students have earned their spot in this honor society through hard work and stellar grades. But that $75 membership fee? For many of them, this fee is a real hurdle! It's a tough choice—join PTK, buy textbooks, or put gas in the car to get to campus. These students have already proven themselves. Let's make sure money isn't what stops them from getting the recognition and opportunities that PTK membership offers, such as scholarships and access to a four-year college transfer to continue their academic journey. By supporting our PTK students, we invest in their future and empower them to succeed!”
- Irma Medina, Director of Integrative Learning

The Impact:
HCC students who are excelling academically will feel supported and celebrated in having the fee waived to join the honor society. You are opening doors for students to resources across all two-year colleges and helping them join a lifelong community.
