This outlines what’s new with the program this school year:
- Chapters may now allow any eligible senior member of your NHS chapter to apply for the scholarship; this removes previous limits on the number of applicants per chapter.
- The scholarship criteria include the four pillars of NHS, as well as financial need, demonstrated by eligibility for participation in the National School Lunch Program.
- The number of scholarships awarded will increase from 200 to 300 national semifinalists. All semifinalists will receive $1,500 scholarships. Twenty-five national finalists will receive an additional $1,500—for a total of $3,000. The national winner will now receive a total of $15,500.
- This year’s disbursement will total $500,000, doubling the amount previously awarded. NASSP will continue to gradually increase scholarship funding until a total annual pool of $2 million is established.
NASSP is proud to administer this national scholarship program for the 17,600 chapters of NHS. We encourage your chapter to take advantage of this fantastic opportunity to recognize your outstanding NHS seniors and support their journey toward future achievement and success.
