These are examples of scholarships available. Locally, Grand Valley, Aquinas, Western, Ferris, and Michigan State all offer competitive scholarships to active Phi Theta Kappa members.

Many four-year institutions in other states waive residency, offer full-rides, or at least large awards for high-GPA Phi Theta Kappa students.
