Will you give a student the Phi Theta Kappa Edge?
Today’s world is increasingly competitive, and students need an edge to land the best transfer opportunities, the top jobs and the greatest chances for advancement. Now you as a donor can give them that edge – the Phi Theta Kappa Edge.
There’s no doubt that PTK membership alone gives college students an edge. But, as we enter our next century you’re helping us empower members’ futures by giving them the #PTKEDGE through programs that foster transfer success, career preparation and professional development.
Ways to Make a Difference
In addition to giving online, there are several ways you can support the mission of Phi Theta Kappa.
