The purposes of Golden Key are to recognise and encourage academic achievement and excellence, and to unite with collegiate faculty and administrators in developing and maintaining high standards of education.

Golden Key International Honour Society is the world's largest collegiate honour society for graduate and undergraduate students, and has strong relationships with over 400 universities around the world. Golden Key is built on the pillars of academics, leadership, and service, and our chapters are committed to implementing service projects and leadership development for all students on their campus. Members qualify when they are at the top 15% of their class, and are given access to a wide range of rewards, scholarships, travel and study abroad opportunities, and more.

We recognise academic excellence and provide tangible value to our Student Members, Advisors, recent Alumni and partners while positively impacting their lives and society. Our vision is to enable members to realise their potential through the advancement of academics, leadership and service.
