PTK Connect

PTK Connect

Data indicates that only about one-third of community college students transfer to four-year institutions, a statistic that PTK attributes more to a lack of opportunity than to a lack of talent. To address this, PTK offers PTK Connect, a complimentary online tool designed to assist students in navigating their educational and career paths. PTK Connect provides access to detailed information on transfer scholarships, colleges, and career pathways, enabling students to make informed decisions about their futures. By utilizing this resource, students can explore various institutions, understand scholarship opportunities, and align their academic pursuits with career goals, thereby enhancing their prospects for successful transfers and career advancement.

We believe the world of higher education doesn’t engage with community college students enough, leaving a vast pool of talented, high-achieving students unaware of the opportunities available to them. At Phi Theta Kappa, we’re working to change that by ensuring these students have the resources and support they need to discover scholarships, transfer options, and career pathways. Tools like PTK Connect are designed to bridge this gap, empowering students to take the next step in their educational journey and connect with colleges and companies eager to welcome their talent.

Phi Theta Kappa (PTK) Connect is an online platform designed to help you explore transfer options and find the best college fit after community college. Here are some of the features students like the most:

• College Exploration: Members can explore a variety of colleges to find the best fit for their transfer needs. The platform provides information on program majors, admission information, recruiter contact information, cost, availability of financial aid, success of transfers, college life, and supports for transfer students.

• Scholarship Exploration: The platform provides access to detailed information about scholarships and financial aid opportunities, helping students find ways to fund their education as they transition to four-year institutions. This includes member-exclusive PTK scholarships - just look for the PTK Gold Key icon on the college search profile.

• Career Exploration: PTK Connect helps students align their academic interests with potential career paths, offering insights into various industries and job opportunities based on their studies.
