NSCS is an honors organization that recognizes, elevates and connects high-achievers during and beyond their college careers. It provides career and graduate school connections, leadership and service experiences, practical and skills-based content, access to discounts and savings and over a million dollars in scholarships, chapter funds and awards annually.

“NSCS is more than just a symbol of academic achievement,” NSCS founder Stephen E. Loflin said. “It is a distinction of honor.

“Our scholars are some of the best of the best, committing to academic excellence early in their collegiate journey. They embody the NSCS pillars of scholarship, leadership and service, and many go on to become active contributors within their respective fields.”

NSCS is a member of the Association of College Honor Societies and is the nation’s only interdisciplinary honors organization supporting first- and second-year college students and fostering their growth throughout their educational careers. Membership is by invitation only, based on both grade point average and class standing. NSCS has nearly two million members worldwide and more than 320 chapters in all 50 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico.
