Members can design a self-paced plan allowing them to choose how competitive they want to be, from one star to five stars. The requirements at each level provide members with experience based on Phi Theta Kappa’s four Hallmarks: Scholarship, Leadership, Service, and Fellowship. Members can also build an online portfolio that will showcase their accomplishments, and that they can share with scholarship providers, admissions officials, and potential employers.
