Rho Kappa Scholarship

Rho Kappa, the National Social Studies Honor Society, awards a $1,500 scholarship each year to one inducted, graduating senior member in good standing (one nominee per chapter, submitted by the chapter advisor, not the student). Applicants submit a 500-word essay on civic engagement along with a letter of recommendation from a project sponsor or social studies teacher. A minimum 3.75 cumulative GPA is required. The 2026 cycle closed April 17, 2026; the 2027 application opens in spring 2027.
