What Our Members Say

NSHSS has been an excellent support network. It has been an incentive to achieve, a reward for success, and a reminder of excellence. It has given me incredible opportunities for my education and for my own personal growth. I would not have had the same experiences and come out the same person had I not been part of NSHSS.

Emory University Class of 2020, Aflac Scholar Award Winner

NSHSS has been truly incredible. I didn’t know the extent of the organization when I first signed up in my sophomore year, but NSHSS has gone perhaps farther than any other organization in widening my horizons and inspiring me to accomplish my dreams…NSHSS also helped to fund my college education with the Claes Nobel Academic Scholarship, which I am forever grateful for.

Raina Kadavil

Claes Nobel Academic Scholarship Winner, Boston University

NSHSS has played a huge role in my academic career. NSHSS has provided me with countless opportunities that I wouldn’t have had otherwise. Because of NSHSS I’ve attended Nobel Prize Week in Sweden, met amazing international friends, and am able to get a college education.
