"We would like to tell you how much we enjoyed the reception in Washington, D.C. Of course Washington itself was great, but the highlight of the trip was the NSHSS reception. It made our trip well worth it. Mr. Nobel is an awesome man, and I myself was enthralled, along with both my daughters. I am so glad that we were able to attend. Once again thank you for the excitement of a lifetime, and the valuable information."

NSHSS hosted a member event on September 30 at the Hilton Washington coinciding with the National Scholarship Providers Association annual conference.  Nearly 300 members and their families had the opportunity to meet one another and Mr. Nobel, while hearing from some wonderful speakers, including our educational partners, Presidential Classroom; Projects Abroad; Habitat for Humanity; and NASA, and our advisor board member Margaret Daniels Tyler, executive director of the Gates Millennium Scholars Fund.

"How wonderful to see so many students and parents come together to meet and learn more about planning their futures."

 NSHSS members were also invited to a member event on October 3 on The Queen Mary, the historic ship harbored at Long Beach, CA. where NSHSS participated in the annual conference of the National Association for College Admission Counseling.  Members were allowed to tour the ship at no charge (regularly admission is $20).  Mr. Nobel presented an NSHSS scholarship to Berkeley freshman Charlene Kemmerer and introduced speakers from Presidential Classroom and Mr. Don Banks, Executive Director of TZONE, and father of advisory board member Tyra Banks.  Over 350 members also heard from authors Margo Bane Woodacre and her daughter Steffany Bane, co-authors of "Doors Open From Both Sides," a guide to making the challenging transition from high school to college.

"I wanted to tell you how exciting the activity at the Queen Mary was on Friday, October 3rd.  I met so many wonderful people and it was an honor to hear Mr. Nobel speak.  I felt that that Queen Mary event was very beneficial to my future success as a college student.  I look forward to attending the next NSHSS event!"
