Hey everyone! I recently stumbled upon the NSHSS scholarship, and I'm wondering how much money they generally award to students? If you've received it or know someone who has, I'd love to hear your experience. Thanks in advance!
Hey! The National Society of High School Scholars (NSHSS) offers various scholarships, each with different award amounts, with some dedicated to pre-college programs in addition to the more standard college scholarships. The exact amount you might receive will depend on the specific scholarship you're applying for within NSHSS.
That said, it's important to note that many people consider NSHSS as a whole to be more of a "pay to play" organization with loose academic requirements for joining. So, it might be a more worthwhile use of your time to apply for scholarships from more reputable institutions, including colleges themselves, as there are many other scholarships available through various organizations that might be more worthwhile and better suited to your specific strengths and goals. You could also consider applying for need-based financial aid to help make college more affordable for you and your family.
Good luck with your scholarship search!
