The national Omicron-Psi Honor Society is an honor society established specifically for the non-traditional student. Established as a non-profit organization in 1993, they encourage participation in community and/or school-related activities. Omicron-Psi chapters are located throughout the United States. They recognize the achievements and sacrifices that are made by these students and encourage their continual academic pursuits through scholarships and awards.
Scholarships/Benefits
Thirty percent of membership dues go toward scholarships. Omicron-Psi Silvers may only apply one time for a scholarship. Omicron-Psi Golds, however, may apply as many years as they continue their academic pursuits. Beautiful certificates and insignia pins are awarded to members at their induction ceremony.
