Scholarship Honor Certificates - The Scholarship Honors Certificate originated in 1958 in order to recognize brothers for outstanding scholastic achievement. It is issued and paid for by the Central Office following the request of the chapter’s Grand Council Deputy. This award is available annually following the spring grading period.
Eligibility: 2nd & 3rd year professional students with minimum G.P.A. of 3.0
Asklepios Key - The Asklepios Key, introduced in 1946, was designed as a special award to be presented by a chapter to its members for outstanding achievements. Although the chapter has always been able to establish its own standards in the selection of recipients for this award it is recommended primarily for excellence in scholarship. The cost of the key, approximately $295.00 (US), is born by the chapter and may be obtained from The Central Office or by using the online Kappa Psi Shop.
Frank H. Eby Award - The Frank H. Eby Award was approved and adopted by the Executive Committee during the Executive Committee Meeting held in Scottsdale, Arizona, September 28-29, 1978. The award was designed to replace the Frank H. Eby Educational Fund Award, which was discontinued in 1971. The award is presented every two (2) years at the Grand Council Convention to the Collegiate Brother who has contributed the most to Kappa Psi. The award is funded by using the interest accumulated from the Frank H. Eby Endowment Fund. Each Collegiate Chapter has the opportunity to nominate one (1) member for the award. To be eligible for nomination, the nominee must be an active member of a Collegiate Chapter or an alumni member up to one year after graduation.
Grand Regent’s Letter - The Grand Regent's Letter of Recognition may be requested by any member, Chapter, or Province as a form of recognition for distinctive service and/or dedication by a brother and is awarded at the expense of the Grand Council.
W. Bruce Phillip Certificate of Commendation - The Kappa Psi Pharmaceutical Fraternity Certificate of Commendation, which is even more prestigious than the Letter of Recognition, may be requested by any Chapter or Province in recognition of important or conspicuous service or achievement by a brother in the interest of the Fraternity or Profession. This certificate shall be issued at the discretion of the Grand Regent and is produced at the expense of the Grand Council.
Frank H. Eby Scholarship Tray Award - This award will be given annually to the Collegiate Chapter with the highest percentage of eligible Brothers earning Scholarship Honors Certificates based on Chapter membership and their school's grading system as determined by calculation criteria set forth by the Chapter Awards Committee and approved by the Executive Committee.

William R. Smith Most Improved Chapter Award - This award is given to the Chapter showing the most significant improvement over the past year.
