For the past eight years, we have maintained an Endowment Scholarship that allows Golden Key to recognize student scholars for their outstanding academic achievement.鈥�

In order to receive Key Chapter recognition, each chapter must complete various activities, including community service, fundraising and scholarship. Based on those chapter standards, the judges award a chapter status of active, bronze, silver or gold. Each of the gold chapters is invited to submit an application for Key Chapter, the highest honor in the society for outstanding chapter excellence.

鈥淲e have consistently been a gold chapter for decades,鈥� said Sanseviro, who also serves as the representative for Region 3 on the International Council of Advisors. 鈥淲ithin Region 3, there were only two other schools that also received Key Chapter this year 鈥� University of Florida and St. Petersburg College, but we were the only chapter in Georgia to be recognized this year.鈥�
