This past semester alone, Pi Beta Phi at the University of Kansas awarded its members over $17,000 in scholarships. Pi Beta Phi values intellectual excellence. Our New Member class was ranked number one on the hill for the Fall 2005 semester. We recognize that the primary purpose of attending college is to successfully take place in the society of educated women. We expect Pi Beta Phi women to identify her academic needs and to pursue resources — on campus and elsewhere — to help her meet those needs. We encourage her to participate in the vast variety of opportunities offered by the university. Background Information for Pi Phi Scholarships
