Scholar Dash

 
Scholar Dash 2027: Same Mission. New Challenge. Bigger Impact!
New Year. New Format. More Opportunities to Change Lives!

This March 1 - 20, 2027, Scholar Dash is being reimagined as a nationwide Chapter Challenge, bringing PTK chapters, members, alumni, and supporters together to unlock scholarships for future PTK members.

Our mission remains the same: ensuring that financial hardship never stands in the way of a deserving student's opportunity to join Phi Theta Kappa.

Every $60 Unlocks a Scholarship!
Through the Golden Opportunity Scholarship, PTK provides membership assistance to eligible students who have earned an invitation to join but cannot afford the membership fee.
For every $60 raised through Scholar Dash, another student can receive a Golden Opportunity Scholarship!
We know many students cannot afford the cost of membership, but we also know that many cannot afford to miss out on the opportunities PTK provides.

Your Chapter. Your Way. Your Impact.
Scholar Dash is no longer just a 5K! Chapters can get creative and participate in whatever way works best for their members and campus communities.
Host a campus walk, organize a fun run, plan a bake sale, partner with another student organization, or create your own fundraising event. Whether you're walking, running, volunteering, or fundraising, every effort helps unlock opportunities for future PTK members.
The goal isn't to be the fastest or raise the most money. It's to unlock the most scholarships and make the biggest impact!

Join the Regional Challenge!
This year, we're introducing a new way for PTK regions to compete! Rather than recognizing regions based on total dollars raised, the 2027 Regional Challenge will celebrate the region with the highest percentage of participating chapters.
A chapter officially counts as participating once it raises $60 and unlocks its first Golden Opportunity Scholarship.
Every chapter has an opportunity to contribute, and every region has an equal chance to win!

Register Today and Start Unlocking Scholarships!
Together, we can make Scholar Dash 2027 our most impactful year yet.
One Goal. Every Region. Every Chapter. Every Student Deserves an Opportunity.

Join us March 1 - 20, 2027 and help open the door to PTK membership for the next generation of scholars!
