The book awards program honors graduating high school seniors.  PBK of Kentuckiana works with senior counselors at the 66 high schools in Louisville and the surrounding Kentucky and Indiana counties to prepare a personalized copy of  The Intellectual Devotional by David S. Kidder and Noah D. Oppenheim that is presented to the student at the school's Senior Awards Program.  Often Phi Beta Kappa members make the presentations.  This program is funded through donations to Phi Beta Kappa Association of Kentuckiana and a generous contribution from Aegon, Inc.
