Testimonials

Hear from our members about their experiences with NSCS.

“You don't realize how important those connections are until you get out in the real world. That's when your fellow NSCS members are getting jobs, some at places you may want to work at. The job market isn't what it used to be and I know for a fact I wouldn't have the job I have right now if it weren't for NSCS!”

I did not know what to expect from an organization like NSCS. ... This is truly a loving organization. I didn't just get hired, I joined a family. A good kind of family.

NSCS is an excellent honors organization dedicated to promoting scholarship in the early college years. The chapter support network and large number of scholarships truly help with adjustment to college academics/money issues.

990s only tell half the story. What about in-kind scholarships, internships, partnerships, service opportunities, or the 4,500 events that NSCS chapters hosted in 2017? The organization is a bit below industry standard in terms of overhead and administration. And, unlike many, is...
