The National Society of High School Scholars

Partnerships

NSHSS proudly enjoys partnerships with educational organizations that provide valuable information, assistance, and programs to our members. NSHSS values partnerships as a means for connecting our members to the best resources and these partnerships represent an important part of our organization.

Boy Scouts of America

The National Society of High School Scholars signed a formal partnership agreement with the Boy Scouts of America on March 11th, 2004, at the BSA headquarters in Irving, Texas. This partnership aims to utilize the Venturing and Explorer programs of the BSA to provide additional benefits to both male and female NSHSS members in leadership development and career exploration. This partnership will also allow BSA leaders to nominate eligible students for membership in the NSHSS. Mr. Nobel said, "The National Society of High School Scholars is proud to partner with the Boy Scouts of America. There are many opportunities for the fine young men and women of NSHSS to get involved in exciting programs and career exploration through BSA Venturing and Explorers. The Boy Scout tradition of excellence and service is a wonderful fit for our mission of bringing the best students together from around the world."

Roy Williams, Chief Scout Executive (pictured here with Mr. Claes Nobel), says of the partnership, "The Boy Scouts of America has a long history of helping young men and women reach their fullest potential both inside and outside the classroom. We look forward to working with the National Society of High School Scholars to help the youth of our nation be the best they can be."

For over 15 years, My College Guide has been working with college-bound students across America. The publication and website has insightful articles geared towards academically talented high school sophomores and juniors.

Klenke, says that "We are thrilled to have partnered with NSHSS, and we look forward to working together to provide college-choice information to their members." The partnership also allows My College Guide to nominate eligible students for NSHSS membership.

People to People Student Ambassadors Program

The purpose of People to People International (PTPI) is to enhance international understanding and friendship through educational, cultural and humanitarian activities involving the exchange of ideas and experiences directly among peoples of different countries and diverse cultures. People to People International is dedicated to enhancing cross-cultural communication within each community, and across communities and nations. Tolerance and mutual understanding are central themes. While not a partisan or political institution, PTPI supports the basic values and goals of its founder, President Dwight D. Eisenhower. People to People is funding a tuition scholarship for an NSHSS member to attend a Future Leaders Summit summer program.
