Limon receives $8,500 Phi Kappa Phi fellowship

East Carolina University Honors College student and Brinkley-Lane Scholar Javier Limon has been awarded an $8,500 graduate fellowship from The Honor Society of Phi Kappa Phi.

Limon graduated in May with a degree in political science and will pursue a master’s degree in public administration at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill this fall. He was one of 62 Phi Kappa Phi fellowship recipients nationwide and one of four from a North Carolina institution.

Phi Kappa Phi is the nation’s oldest and most selective collegiate honor society for all academic disciplines. Annually, the organization inducts approximately 20,000 students, faculty, professional staff and alumni from chapters on more than 300 select colleges and universities in the United States, its territories and the Philippines.

The selection process for graduate fellowships is based on the applicant’s evidence of graduate potential, undergraduate academic achievement, service and leadership experience, letters of recommendation, personal statement of educational perspective and career goals, and acceptance in an approved graduate or professional program.
