Hey! I was searching up some info about the NHS scholarship, and I was curious to know how many people usually apply for it each year. Has anyone come across this information before?
Hey there! So, the exact number of National Honor Society (NHS) scholarship applicants may vary each year, but it is generally a highly competitive scholarship due to the large number of NHS members across the country. Thousands of students become NHS members each year, and a significant portion of these students might apply for the NHS scholarship.
Although I couldn't find a specific number of applicants, I can tell you a bit about the selection process. The NHS scholarship is awarded to 600 exceptional NHS members annually. Out of these, one national winner receives $25,000, 24 national finalists receive $5,625, and 575 remaining winners receive $3,200 each. So based on the tens of thousands of NHS members across the country and only around 600 or so getting the scholarship, I would say it's quite competitive.
