Golden Key is the largest collegiate honour society in the world. To join, students must receive an invitation. The university extends invitations to the top 15% of undergraduate students in their second to fourth year and to top-performing graduate students in all fields of study, based solely on their academic achievements.

Golden Key's mission is to enable members to realize their potential through academic advancement. It unlocks and enlivens excellence and helps high-achieving students fulfill their personal, professional, and altruistic goals.

Golden Key has over 400 chapters at universities and colleges in Australia, Canada, India, Malaysia, New Zealand, South Africa, The Bahamas, and the United States of America. It is a non-profit organization under Section 501C(3) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code. 

Although it was originally called the Golden Key National Honour Society, it changed its name to reflect an international presence. Just as the name evolved, so did the Society. Since 1977, it has recognized more than 10 million undergraduate and graduate students and awarded more than $8 million in scholarships and grants. Today, Golden Key continues to grow while helping its members realize their potential.

To join the Golden Key Society, students must receive an invitation from their institution. Once they are members, they do not need to qualify again. Even if their GPA drops in future sessions, they will not lose their membership. They are a member for life. In order to qualify, students must meet the following criteria:

• be in the top 15% of second- to fourth-year undergraduate students or be a top-performing graduate student, and
• be currently registered in full- or part-time studies in any field of study.

The University identifies students according to established criteria. They send an invitation letter to each qualifying student, which provides the steps to join the society. The student's invitation is valid for one year, and the student can join any time that year by paying the $90 membership fee, of which $12 goes to their respective chapter.

The Society offers members valuable opportunities for individual growth through leadership, career development, networking, and community service. In addition, they offer over $1,000,000 in awards and scholarships annually. Members also have access to graduate school and study abroad search engines, as well as other unique product discounts.
