What misleading statements did Phi Theta Kappa make about scholarships?

Disclaimer: The author of this article is not a neutral party in the referenced litigation. HonorSociety.org Inc., Honor Society Foundation Inc., and its president Michael Moradian were sued in federal court by PTK on April 20, 2022 for False Designation of Origin, Trade Dress Infringement, and Unfair Competition. Honor Society and Michael Moradian countersued and are presently defendants/counter-plaintiffs in this litigation. Litigation is still ongoing and all claims made regarding this case are just allegations against the parties.

The lawsuit alleges that Phi Theta Kappa falsely promoted exclusive access to $246 million in scholarships, implying these funds were only available to PTK members. In reality, these scholarships are broadly available to all students, regardless of PTK membership. PTK is also accused of falsely advertising that the average member receives $2,500 a year in scholarships, which is misleading.
