What Award Recipients Are Saying
I found out that I won this scholarship right in the middle of finals week, and honestly it was exactly the news I needed to make it through. I was not only excited when notified, but also completely humbled to be recognized by such a prominent organization and honored that they were willing to invest in my education. This scholarship means the world to me for that reason. It is an investment into my future, and winning this is a reminder to me of my own potential and a motivator to continue to work hard to reach my goals. Being an out-of-state student at UVA is definitely pricey, and this scholarship helps to take that financial burden off my shoulders and allows me to continue to attend my dream school.

If it was not for this organization, I would not have been fortunate enough to have finished my first year of undergrad without a financial burden. NSHSS has proven to me from my initial membership that it truly cares about the success of the millennials on a global scale.

Nova Southeastern University, NSHSS Ambassador Scholar Award 2015
I am incredibly grateful to receive the Aflac scholarship. After high school, there are few scholarships for students that are already in college; at least, there is little advertisement for college scholarships. However, college students like myself still need scholarships and support just as much as we did before we began college. This scholarship provides that exact support. Additionally, knowing that both NSHSS and Aflac believe in the importance of equipping current college students with financial support is encouraging.
