Wisconsin Chapter Provides Fee Assistance to Members

The Phi Theta Kappa chapter at the University of Wisconsin-Fox Valley Campus has found a way to assist eligible students who want to accept membership but may be unable to pay the fee. Advisor Rex Hieser located a donor willing to cover up to half of the fee for students with financial burdens. Students may pay according to their ability and the remainder is covered by the donation. Hieser said that even students who don't need assistance appreciate that Phi Theta Kappa is willing to help. Other membership acceptance strategies employed by the chapter members include following up the official invitation from the college dean with personal emails that include their own Phi Theta Kappa experiences. Current members will also individually contact any eligible students personally known to them. The chapter has earned a Pinnacle Silver Award and a $100 scholarship for their membership acceptance success. Learn more about the Pinnacle Scholarship Award Program.
