Members of Phi Theta Kappa will receive an additional first semester $500 scholarship.

Fultz, UI&U Director, Academic Partnerships and Innovation and former chair of the Southwestern Council for Higher Education (SOCHE) Articulation and Transfer Committee.

What is the earnings potential between an associate and a bachelor degree?
The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) says it best. "In terms of dollars, education makes sense. Median weekly earnings in 2017 for those with the highest levels of educational attainment—doctoral and professional degrees—were more than triple those with the lowest level, less than a high school diploma. And workers with at least a bachelor's degree earned more than the $907 median weekly earnings for all workers." (Source: U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics)
