Dear fellow Phi Theta Kappa Members, Advisors, Alumni, and honored supporters,
Achieving our goal of $125,000 was by no means going to be simple.
We set out to do huge things -- and we haven't finished the job yet. We’ve achieved a lot together so far, and all that we still need to do hangs in the balance.
The next 90 days are extremely important for the Oberndorf Lifeline to Completion Scholarship.
Will you make a donation of $10 or more today?
We go to school every day knowing that millions of students are working hard to complete their degree, and at any moment an unexpected disaster could occur causing financial problems that might encumber them from staying in school. You never believe that something like that could happen to you until it does.

Our challenge for 2012 isn’t just about endowing a scholarship. It’s also about being a part of history and leaving a legacy that will help Phi Theta Kappa members complete their degrees for years to come. Building this scholarship is the next step you can take in your involvement with the Community College Completion Corps, and there is an incentive for your participation. Participating chapters will be eligible for a drawing to have Phi Theta Kappa Executive Director Dr. Rod Risley attend your C4 event or have a “Meet and Greet” with him at the Annual Convention in Nashville. The deadline is March 30, 2012!
Together we will help bring the U.S. up from the #16 nation in the world in college completion. Please help us meet this goal and help your fellow members succeed in completing a college credential! Remember, your donation will be matched one-to-one by Lou and Rosemary Oberndorf to create a $250,000 scholarship endowment. That means your $10 is really $20.
It's up to us.
Our deadline is approaching, and with only 90 days left until the 2012 Phi Theta Kappa Annual Convention we just wanted to remind you of ways you can support this cause today.
