GVSU Success Stories: Classics Major Earns Phi Kappa Phi Award
October 05, 2015
Abigail DeHart '15, a graduate in Classics and Philosophy, has been
awarded a $5,000 fellowship from the Phi Kappa Phi honor society to
offset some of the costs of graduate school.
DeHart is one
of just 57 recipients of the fellowship this year. Fellowships are
awarded to Phi Kappa Phi members entering the first year of graduate
or professional study. Each active Phi Kappa Phi chapter may select
one candidate from among its local applicants to compete for the
Society-wide awards.
Founded in 1897 at the University of
Maine, Phi Kappa Phi is the nation's oldest and most selective
collegiate honor society for all academic disciplines. Its chapters
are on more than 300 campuses in the United States and the
Philippines. Each year, approximately 30,000 members are initiated.
DeHart has matriculated to postgraduate study at Cambridge University.
