A complete listing of institutions offering Phi Theta Kappa transfer scholarships can be found at:  http://www.ptk.org/schol/schol_dir.htm

There are other scholarships, such as the All Iowa and All USA Academic Team scholarships—and you can find these specific scholarships listed at:  http://www.ptk.org/schol/all_state/IA.htm (Please remember you do NOT have to be a member of Phi Theta Kappa to be on this Team.)

Also members of Phi Theta Kappa are looked at as “invested” transfer students.  They have an advantage when they apply for other institutional scholarships.  For example, Iowa State University offers the Roy Carver Transfer Scholarship ($5200, renewable a second year).  Students with a solid work record, grade record, and service record are ideal candidates for this scholarship.  These ARE what members of Phi Theta Kappa are!  This last spring (spring 2007) two Boone Campus students, also members of Phi Theta Kappa, earned the Roy Carver Scholarship.
