Golden Key is proud of
its rich history and of the members who have made it so
successful.
Golden Key International Honour Society, founded in
1977, recognizes college students solely on the basis of
their academic achievements. Since its founding in 1977,
Golden Key International Honour Society has emerged as
one of the most dynamic, forward-thinking organizations
in higher education. Committed to an ethos of
recognizing academic achievement and encouraging
altruistic service, the Society’s on-campus presence has
reached nearly 350 campuses in seven countries including
Australia, Canada, Malaysia, New Zealand, South
Africa, the United Arab Emirates and the United States.
In an effort to reflect the Society's diversity and
international presence, Golden Key uses the globally
accepted spelling of "honour" in its name.
The Board of Directors governs Golden Key, and the
Academic Council, made up of volunteers from diverse
academic backgrounds, preserves the Society's academic
standards.
The Society maintains active membership in several
organizations including the Association of College Honor
Societies (ACHS), the National Collegiate Honors Council
(NCHC), the National Association of Student Personnel
Administrators (NASPA), the National Scholarship
Providers Association (NSPA), the American Association
of Collegiate Registrars and Admissions Officers (AACRAO)
and the Points of Light Foundation.
Golden Key is incorporated as a nonprofit
organization under Section 501 (c)(3) of the United
States Internal Revenue Code.
