McKenna Weber (’25) of Lincoln, Neb., has received a study abroad grant from The Honor Society of Phi Kappa Phi, the nation’s oldest and most selective collegiate honor society across all academic disciplines.
Weber, a modern language studies and political science double major at Nebraska Wesleyan University, will study in Tarragona, Spain next semester. She is among 125 students nationwide to be honored with this $1,000 award.
Phi Kappa Phi’s selection process for study abroad grants considers academic achievement, campus and community service, the connection of travel to academic and career goals, a personal statement, letters of recommendation, and acceptance into a study abroad program.
These grants help undergraduates gain knowledge and experiences in their academic fields through study abroad programs.
Since it began in 2001, the society has distributed over $1.3 million annually to students and members. It funds graduate and dissertation fellowships, post-baccalaureate development, and grants for various literacy initiatives.
