As many people often ask, “Is NSHSS real?" The answer is yes. NSHSS is a legitimate organization founded in 2002 by Claes Nobel, a senior member of the Nobel Prize family. NSHSS is an international honor society that recognizes and encourages academic excellence among high-achieving high school students worldwide.

Besides looking amazing on a resume, being a member gives you access to things that most people at your university don't have access to. It is also a great way to network with people by joining their group on LinkedIn. I have had nothing but a good experience with Honorsociety.org and would recommend it to anyone!"

NSHSS awards hundreds of scholarships each year, but the competition is steep. Most NSHSS scholarship programs only award a few outstanding students and may receive hundreds of applications.

Admission to NSHSS is primarily based on a student maintaining a 3.5 or higher GPA (on a 4.0 scale) or scoring within the top 10% of their class. The organization also takes factors like community involvement and demonstrated leadership into consideration, but the primary driver is academic performance.
