Reap the benefits of a Phi Theta Kappa scholarship.
PTK is a national honor society that highlights the academic achievement of students in community or junior colleges.
Students who were members of Phi Theta Kappa while in community college can enjoy the benefits in scholarships at MC by joining the Phi Theta Kappa Alumni Chapter.
The key to being awarded the Phi Theta Kappa Scholarship is being involved in your community college’s Phi Theta Kappa before you transfer. You must earn and maintain a 3.5 GPA for eligibility to enter the Phi Theta Kappa chapter at your community or junior college.
When you are ready to apply to Mississippi Christian University, indicate in the appropriate field on the application if you are a Phi Theta Kappa member. Once your membership is verified, Phi Theta Kappa members living on campus at MC will receive $14,000 per year; off-campus Phi Theta Kappa members will receive $11,500 per year.* The buck doesn't stop there. You are also eligible for all stackable merit scholarships, academic department scholarships, and our Transfer Scholarship Competition. It literally pays to maintain a good GPA and participate in community service projects.
Also, the Phi Theta Kappa Scholarship is stackable with the Leland Speed Scholarship of $2,000/year for students from MS who will live on campus.
*These are 2026 scholarship amounts. Scholarship amounts update yearly.
