NHS Scholarship Application Process Opens October 1

National Honor Society has awarded more than $14 million in scholarships since its inception in 1946, and the organization will award $2 million more this year alone. Administered by NASSP, the NHS Scholarship rewards the most remarkable students for their service, leadership, and character. With the scholarship funds distributed among semi­finalists, finalists, and one national winner (who could win $25,000), this coveted scholarship could potentially go to one of your deserving students. To increase the odds that it does, make sure your highest achievers not only complete their portion of the application by the deadline of December 7, but submit all three required recommendations—one each from the adviser, principal, and a teacher—by December 14 to be eligible.
