Pi Sigma Alpha Honor Society
Graduate with Distinction
Pi Sigma Alpha, the National Political Science Honor Society, is an "upper division, specialized"
honor society for undergraduate and graduate students of political science in the
United States.
Membership in Pi Sigma Alpha offers students the right to wear honor regalia at graduation, participate in a national student research conference, and compete for a prestigious internship scholarship, graduate school scholarships, and best paper awards. Members are also eligible for special benefits such as discounts on Kaplan courses or improved pay scales if hired into the federal
government. Local chapters may also apply for grants to help fund special events and activities on campus.
Each spring and fall, Pi Sigma Alpha also publishes the Pi Sigma Alpha Undergraduate Journal of Politics. This journal features undergraduate research in political science and government,
and welcomes submissions from any undergraduate class or major. Submissions deadlines
are October 1 for the Fall issue and February 1 for the Spring issue.
