PTK Discounts

PTK offers a number of discounts available exclusively to its members. Discounts include:

Nota Bene, Latin for “note well,” is Phi Theta Kappa’s honors anthology. It recognizes outstanding writing of Phi Theta Kappa members and demonstrates to the literary public the academic excellence and commitment to scholarship found at colleges. The first issue of Nota Bene was published in 1994.

The Nota Bene literary competition offers a monetary award for the top submissions in each publication, and the top poet will have the opportunity to present an original poem at Honors Institute.

Civic Scholar: Phi Theta Kappa Journal of Undergraduate Research is the first journal of its kind featuring substantive research and community engagement by community college scholars.

Projects selected for publication in Civic Scholar begin as chapters’ investigations into Phi Theta Kappa’s Honors Study Topic. Chapters then narrow their focus to a particular theme and develop research questions related to their chosen theme. Ultimately, students turn their research into action by using their findings to fill specific community needs.

To be considered for publication in Civic Scholar, a chapter must submit a Hallmark Awards entry for the chapter’s Honors in Action project.
