NSHSS members receive an automatic $150 partial scholarship for NOLS summer courses as well as a program application fee waiver in recognition of the academic and leadership contributions they already make at their schools and in their communities. NOLS also offers a program scholarship for NSHSS members. Read about Brennan Eberle’s Alaksan adventure sponsored by NOLS in 2006.
Projects Abroad
Some of your fellow Society members will be going to places like Nepal to teach English and serve the community there. NSHSS partner, Projects Abroad offers opportunities to ‘plug in’ to ongoing projects. Volunteer programs operate in seventeen different countries around the world. You join a program in operation, so the duration of your service is more flexible. Projects Abroad is for everyone seventeen and over. NSHSS member Kristy Gonyer of Hill City, South Dakota, received the 2006 Projects Abroad full program scholarship to volunteer with conservation projects in Peru. The 2007 Projects Abroad scholarship application is now online.
