The Phi Beta Kappa Society is a leading national advocate for the value of arts and sciences education. Our Key into Public Service program and scholarship opportunity highlights the wide range of opportunities for arts, humanities, natural science, social science, and mathematics majors to pursue rewarding careers in local, state, and federal government.

In recognition of the Society's 250th anniversary, each scholar will receive a $7,600 undergraduate scholarship and will participate in a conference that provides training, mentoring, and reflection on pathways into local, state, and federal government careers.

We are now accepting applications for the 2027 Key into Public Service Scholarship. The deadline to apply is Tuesday, January 19, 2027 at 11:59 PM ET. Questions? Contact our team by emailing advocacy@pbk.org.
