Behind every NSHSS member is a passionate parent.

NSHSS helps today’s scholars become tomorrow’s leaders through recognition, scholarship opportunities, college fairs, internships, career connections, personal development and leadership opportunities, and more. We are committed to supporting students on their path to greatness.

Claes Nobel, NSHSS Co-Founder and member of the family that established the Nobel Prizes believed that NSHSS scholars will one day be the next Nobel Laureates because they are pushing the envelope on changing the world for both themselves as well as for others around them.
