What Makes NSCS So Different?
Nearing 30 years old, we’re one of the youngest honor societies. But we’ve quickly become one of the largest-rivaling societies that are 200+ years old! That’s because our founder, Steven Loflin, had a crazy idea… what if we went beyond just recognizing high-achievers and also helped equip them – in real and practical ways – so they could get more scholarship money, better internship and job opportunities, and become more well-rounded individuals? Also, that idea resonated with students across the nation because we now have nearly 300 chapters. Watch the video below to see how NSCS has helped students just like you.
What is NSCS?
The National Society of Collegiate Scholars (NSCS) is a non-profit honors organization for high-achieving first-and second-year college students. NSCS provides career and graduate school connections, leadership and service experiences, access to discounts and savings, and offers more money in undergrad scholarships than any other honor society of its kind.
