Welcome to the membership acceptance page for the Iota Omega Chapter at Centralia College, Main Campus! We are thrilled to have you here and are excited to welcome you to our community of high achievers. Joining the Iota Omega Chapter means becoming a part of a powerful community of diverse college students dedicated to making their own futures through service and leadership. The Iota Omega Chapter, established in 1959, is home to over 2,833 members and alumni, all committed to making a lasting impact through leadership, service, and academic excellence.
Members of the Iota Omega Chapter who aspire to receive a bachelor's degree have access to millions of dollars in transfer scholarships from PTK's four-year partners--these awards provide significant savings towards tuition at over 800 four-year colleges and universities. Also, $17,500 has been awarded in competitive scholarships from PTK's Foundation in recent years. These scholarships help ease the financial burden of college, enabling members to focus on their studies and future careers.
The chapter leaders at the Iota Omega Chapter have been working on service and research projects both on campus and in the community. Here are a few of their recent projects:
- Partnering with Local Downtown Association
- Offering Phi Theta Kappa Membership to Students in Correctional Education Programs
- Creating a Garden to Provide Fresh Produce to the Campus Food Pantry
Benefits of PTK
Membership in Phi Theta Kappa starts with recognition, but its benefits extend far beyond that. At PTK, our scholarships are substantial, and our programs are grounded in research, ensuring that every initiative is designed to maximize your college experience. One of our newest and most exciting additions is the FAFSA Mentor program. This innovative service acts as your personal assistant for navigating the FAFSA process.
Phi Theta Kappa stands out as a nonprofit organization dedicated to your success. This means that every initiative and resource is designed with your best interests in mind, rather than profit. By joining PTK, you're not just accessing exclusive networking opportunities and leadership development; you're becoming part of a mission-driven community focused on genuine support and growth.
Personal and Professional Development
Don't have time for chapter meetings? As a member, you'll have unlimited access to a variety of courses known as PTK Edge™. These courses are designed to help you prepare for transfer to a four-year college, develop career skills, and foster personal growth. You can take them at a time and pace that fits your schedule.
No matter your goal, PTK Edge™ gives you the edge you need to get ahead. These courses are free, online, self-paced, and offered exclusively to Phi Theta Kappa members. Successful completion of each of these courses leads to micro credential badging, lapel pins to accessorize your business dress, and we even keep track of it on your very own PTK Co-curricular transcript.
