Scholarships
Phi Eta Sigma provides $1,000 awards and $6,000 scholarships for undergraduate study, as well as $7,500 scholarships for the first year of graduate study. Members of Phi Eta Sigma must apply to receive these awards. Nearly $300,000 in scholarships is awarded every year by the national organization.[1]
Phi Eta Sigma also awards the Thomas Arkle Clark Scholar Leader of the Year Endowed Scholarship, named in honor of the founder and first Grand President of Phi Eta Sigma. This scholarship is a $10,000 award presented yearly to the member whom the Scholarship Committee determines to best exemplify the ideals of Phi Eta Sigma.[2]

Phi Eta Sigma has two publications which it distributes to its members each year.[3] The Forum is a magazine published each year containing updates of Phi Eta Sigma's activity, as well as announcements and biographies of scholarship recipients. Hints on Studying and Learning is a popular pamphlet distributed by Phi Eta Sigma to its members. It addresses effective study habits such as preparation for studying; productive reading, note taking, and memorizing skills; as well as suggestions for the successful preparation of term papers and preparing for exams.

Attendee expenses, excluding transportation, are paid for by the national office for a chapter adviser and a student delegate from each chapter.[1] The most recent convention was held in 2012 in Salt Lake City, Utah.[4]
