About Us

The National Society of Collegiate Scholars (NSCS) is an honor society that recognizes and elevates high-achieving students. Less than 10 percent of students at institutions with NSCS chapters qualify for membership. Nominees must be in their first or second year of their undergraduate career, and have earned a GPA of 3.4 or above.

NSCS is proud to offer nearly half a million dollars in scholarships, but more than that, NSCS is a growth opportunity, leadership training ground, and resource. Students who join meet people on campus and at other schools they might not have otherwise - people who become friends, long-term supporters, and future colleagues. New members get the tools and encouragement they need to take part in transforming the on-campus and community-wide issues that mean the most to them. These new individuals also find a wealth of resources to help with their futures: NSCS-exclusive scholarships; leadership training; internships, and careers; job leads and resources; and travel opportunities.

Founded in 2000, our UW chapter has since been involved in nonprofit, volunteer events in the University District and surrounding areas of Seattle, Washington.
