Our Crowdfunding Groups
Phi Beta Kappa celebrates and advocates excellence in the liberal arts and sciences. It is the nation’s oldest and most prestigious national honors society. Only the most outstanding undergraduates at America’s leading colleges and universities who meet the Society’s rigorous and comprehensive standards are elected to membership each year. It is arguably the highest academic honor that undergraduate students can achieve. At UC Irvine, less than 5% of the graduating seniors and 1% of third year juniors are invited to join Phi Beta Kappa each year, making it more selective than Latin Honors.
PBK members demonstrate intellectual integrity, tolerance for other views and a broad range of academic interests. Members are committed to the liberal arts and sciences, to freedom of inquiry and expression and to the love of wisdom and knowledge for its own sake.
Please consider making a gift to help us build the first ever PBK Endowment Fund at UCI. This fund will be used in perpetuity to support the lifetime membership fee and induction into Phi Beta Kappa of students who accept their nomination in the year they are invited. Donations to establish this endowment will give the opportunity to even more nominated students to accept their invitation to join Phi Beta Kappa.
By supporting this endowment, you are investing in future leaders who will make a significant impact. Your generosity fuels our mission to create and expand the endowment, ensuring more deserving scholars can realize their dreams.
Please consider donating today!
*Alternate Use of Funds: In the unlikely event that the minimum for establishing an endowed fund, currently $25,000, is not reached by October 31, 2029, then all funds raised in this campaign will be used for current-use support for the same purpose.
