I recently joined an honor society at my high school, and I'm trying to find out if there are any scholarships that I could apply for because of this membership. Does anyone know of scholarships that target honor society students?
Certainly, many honor societies offer scholarships for their members, so joining one is a great step!
Phi Theta Kappa, for instance, has the Transfer Honor Roll which awards scholarships to outstanding community college students preparing to transfer to a four-year institution. Mu Alpha Theta, the Math Honor Society, provides scholarships to high school seniors who are members and are planning on pursuing a career in mathematics.
National Honor Society (NHS), perhaps the most well-known honor society, also offers scholarships. The NHS Scholarship program, for example, is worth upwards of several thousand dollars.
Depending on your honor society, you may have access to even more opportunities for academic scholarships! I would suggest checking the website linked with your honor society, or reaching out to the advisor or leadership of your society to explore available scholarships. Good luck with your search!
