What is the current membership fee for Phi Theta Kappa, and where does the money go?
The current, one-time application fee (also referred to as "dues") for full, lifetime membership is $100.00 payable to Orange Coast College.
Phi Theta Kappa International Headquarters receives $45.00 of the total, and the Nevada/California PTK Region receives $5.00.
The Beta Mu Alpha chapter at OCC retains $50.00.
Provisional membership requires the payment of chapter dues ($50.00) only with the application. Regional and national dues are paid at the prevailing amounts upon acceptance to full membership.
The chapter uses its income to print applications and related correspondence, cover mailing costs, purchase office supplies, host society events, pay for the expenses associated with members' attendance at recognition ceremonies and conferences, and funds at least one chapter scholarship per year. Beginning with new applications submitted on or after September 1, 2009, membership dues will also include a chapter t-shirt.
