Golden Key Point System

Golden Key established a point system as a way to award the organization's active members. Each year Golden Key awards at least two scholarships at the induction ceremony. These scholarships are available only to active members. Active members also receive a Golden Key Medallion for either a discount or for free, depending on how many points the member has. Only honor cords and the medallion are allowed to be worn at Graduation. Below are ways that members can earn points toward becoming an active member. The requirements to become an active member are discussed below.

If you are graduating and would like a medallion, please stop by at one of our upcoming meetings. If you are unable to attend a meeting, please contact Golden Key at uwwgoldenkey@yahoo.com.  The medallion is $20 for non-active members and available for a discount or free to active members, depending on the number of points they have accumulated.  To view more Golden Key merchandise, please visit the Golden Key International Collection.
