On April 24, 2024, the Association celebrated its 50th Anniversary of the Annual Scholarship Awards Dinner. The evening was a splendid affair filled with the unmistakable energy brought by our distinguished special guests, past and present scholarship recipients, and their families. Many thanks to our remarkable dinner chair Sofia Adrogué and dinner co-chair W.F. "Bill" Monroe for their leadership and vision, Key Honorees United States Representative Lizzie Fletcher and Texas Supreme Court Justice Evan Young, and special guest Phi Beta Kappa Secretary and CEO Frederick Lawrence who made it an unforgettable night.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to all who attended and contributed to the success of the evening. Thank you for your ongoing support! 

Since 1972, the Association has awarded merit-based scholarships to students graduating from the full range of Houston-area secondary schools representing the vital diversity of our great city. Our program is nationally renowned because it makes a difference. The love of learning symbolized by Phi Beta Kappa has the potential to transform our society, and yet the challenge of affording a quality college education can be prohibitive–especially for gifted students of modest means. The opportunity to connect to these academically talented students and make a difference in their young lives is of utmost importance. Fostering a love of learning can make all the difference, for both the student and our society.
