Ambassadors

“I have been a member of NSHSS for nearly four years now and I must say that it is truly an amazing organization. So many doors have been opened for me along my journey all thanks to NSHSS. I have attended numerous webinars, participated in enriching programs such as the NSHSS Intern Readiness Program (IRP), and have developed leadership experience through my time as an ambassador. I have also made so many friends along the way and am looking forward to applying to more scholarships and activities!”

"Becoming an NSHSS Ambassador has been one of the best decisions I have made. It's a community of scholars supporting one another through everything. The webinars, scholarships, and other opportunities help students like me find what I need to succeed in college and life!"

"NSHSS has incredible learning opportunities and provides services that allow for personal beneficial growth! One program NSHSS offers is the Intern Readiness Program, which teaches leadership and allows individuals to prepare their skills before positioning themselves within an internship. Not only are these benefits ideal for educational growth, they can aid in financial support and provide fun experiences for many to enjoy! I am so lucky and honored I was able to join NSHSS and utilize the opportunities provided!"

"Being an NSHSS Ambassador has been one of my best decisions yet! I admire how we’re all goal-oriented and strive for greatness within ourselves and the program. I’ve been able to expand my network and been offered tons of opportunities exclusively for NSHSS members! The scholarships, internships, and offers NSHSS presents to us is a major plus. NSHSS teaches me to apply myself; if you don’t get involved, there won’t be many results to show. Thank you National Society of High School Scholars for giving high school, undergraduates, and others an amazing experience!"

"NSHSS is worth joining because of the opportunities it creates in and outside of the organization. You can add it to your resume and boosts your confidence and self-esteem.

It even helped me do better in my community, church, school, and work. Joining NSHSS was a major opportunity and a major success."

NSHSS has been very helpful in providing resources that have greatly benefited me as I move forward through my academic journey with webinars, events, and scholarship opportunities. Not only that, but by being an NSHSS Ambassador, I have learned how to be a leader but also someone of good character. I can genuinely say that I am extremely grateful to be a part of the NSHSS community and have enjoyed all of the opportunities the society has brought me so far!

"I want to say that being an ambassador at NSHSS is an amazing experience. I've met so many people from other states and even some others here in Florida. NSHSS has so much to offer from webinars to scholarships. I really enjoyed the ACT/SAT prep I received as well. It was easy to understand and I scored well on both test afterwards. I really appreciate NSHSS for being there for me and helping me along my collage experience. The virtual Scholar's Summer Event was my favorite so far because I had the opportunity to help new and current members and share my experiences and encourage them to join the Ambassador program. "

"Being an Ambassador of NSHSS has opened so many doors for me. I’ve gotten the opportunity to meet and interact with scholars from all over the world. Also, I was able to get recognition for my academic and leadership qualities through social media takeovers. I’m excited to use NSHSS’s resources till the end of high school and until I graduate college!"

NSHSS provided me with all the support and resources I needed! Thus far I have already been accepted into 2 of the 5 colleges I applied for, San Diego State University and California State University: Fullerton!"

"Volunteering has been an incredible part of my journey of self-discovery and greater purpose. I started volunteering at the age of 13 and continued to volunteer and expand my roles in my community. I served as a Youth Club President at American Red Cross Hawaii for three years and concluded my leadership role as a president for the Hawaiian Humane Society’s Teens4Animals council. My hope is to motivate young people to make volunteerism and service to others a way of life."

"I'm currently a senior at Worcester Academy in Worcester, Massachusetts. I'm heavily involved in my school's theatre program in addition to being an ambassador for Worcester Academy, the president of our school's mock trial club and completing nearly 200 hours of community service outside of school. I am attending Fordham University next year at the beautiful Rose Hill Campus where I plan to study business, marketing, or psychology. In the future, I hope to become someone who advocates for others and for change in society."

"I serve as Student Council President. Aside from Student Council, you can find me working two jobs while being involved in other extracurricular activities and volunteer work. Outside of the school environment, some of my interest or hobbies include writing, photography, and listening to music. Recently, I helped set up a collection of feminine hygiene products where the supplies collected were be donated to the homeless women in Tarrant County. This is a set-up for my future career goal of being a human-rights lawyer with a focus on minorities such as LGBTQ+, women, and people of color."

Beyond that, I also encourage new students to join an excellent community like NSHSS and also push out of their comfort zones by joining the ambassador leadership program.
