Phi Theta Kappa Members Receive National Dean's List Scholarships
Phi Theta Kappa members have been selected to receive the Society's 2006
National Dean's List Scholarships. Community college students from states
and nations hosting Phi Theta Kappa chapters were chosen to receive this
award.
The National Dean's List is a prestigious compilation
of honor students in two-year and four-year degree programs. By virtue
of membership in Phi Theta Kappa, all new inductees are automatically nominated
for the National Dean's List. Scholarship recipients are chosen by random
search and each receives a $250 award.
"It is an honor to receive
this scholarship," said Debra Lineberry, a Phi Theta Kappa member from
Wytheville Community College in Virginia. "When I graduate in May, I will
be short three classes of having a second degree in Administrative Support
Technology. This scholarship will be a big help in allowing me to take the
other three classes and graduate with two degrees."
