Member Stories
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!”

It hasn't been long since I joined NSCS but so far it's been the best experience I've had throughout all my years in college. As the president of the NSCS chapter at my college, I can say NSCS has helped me strive in my academic life. Through NSCS we get access to many different ...
"Tell me who you hang around with and I will tell you who you will become." That saying rings true for me. In college, finding driven scholars who value academics is essential. NSCS is the perfect place for this — you meet high-quality people who push and encourage you to become ...
As the Chapter President of a Tennessee chapter of this program, I can tell you that the benefits of joining are tremendous. NSCS truly cares about its volunteers and tries to make tasks easy and understandable so that volunteers have a true desire and care about the mission at h...
I joined NSCS during the Spring 2019 semester and I didn’t know anyone in the chapter, but when elections came around the officers pushed everyone to take a chance on running. I’m not very outgoing, so running for an officer position scared me, but now I’m proud to say that I’ll ...
NSCS has given and offered me multiple opportunities to participate in, in order to build up my resume and connections of network within the community. It has also forced me to step out of my boundaries and set high goals in order to maintain my GPA.
This organization helped me meet a lot of people in a short amount of time. I was put in a leadership position in my school’s chapter and it was a shock. I was worried about how I was going to adjust but the chapter president is helping me along the way so that I could get my foo...
As an officer for the Full Sail University chapter, I have been very fortunate to meet great new people. It’s worth being a member because it ignites student life for students attending Full Sail University off campus.
It's been an incredible experience and knowing that I am a lifetime member makes me happy because I know I can apply for scholarships as an alumni and I've created a circle of close friends and great opportunities. I loved being a part of Outreach Love through NSCS and helping tu...
I am going on my second term as an officer of the South University–Savannah chapter and love it. This position has provided countless opportunities to meet some awesome people and make lifelong relationships. My time with NSCS has enabled me to interact with numerous non-profit o...
Being in NSCS has helped to ease me out of my comfort zone. I have been able to take steps I would have never imagined taking that have proved to be beneficial especially personally because I’ve seen a lot of personal growth. I started off as just an active member then I joined t...
NSCS has been an amazing experience! Not only are volunteering opportunities offered, but we dedicate our time to study sessions and getting to know other members through numerous social events.
Although I am very involved in my school, NSCS stands out from the other organizations that I am a part of. NSCS is filled with like-minded individuals who share my passion for school and our community. Together we are making a difference while forming life-long connections. NSCS...
My initial reason for joining the NSCS was because I thought it would look good on my resume. After joining I found that looking good on a resume wasn't the only thing that the NSCS offered. There were so many leadership and volunteer opportunities available to members that I oth...
NSCS is a great academic organization that also emphasizes community involvement. Through NSCS, I have both facilitated and participated in the signature PACE program which serves as a mentoring program between college students and local middle school students.
NSCS is such an amazing organization. NSCS has never been big at my school, but with their continued support, and a brand new board of amazing officers, NSCS is really starting to grow at my school. I'm very excited for the coming year.
This nonprofit provides nurturing for all collegiate students and gives a sense of family throughout the chapter. As a Vice President in my chapter, I've found it to be a rewarding way to be a part of a community beyond college.
My college years have been lonely but the NSCS always has my back. A while ago I took the opportunity to study at Harlaxton College in the UK and was further isolated from the environment I had just acclimatized to. When I was feeling low, I, thankfully, started receiving emails ...
NSCS is a great community that allows you to grow professionally in all aspects. It makes you part of a lifelong family to celebrate your academic achievements and share your success story with. NSCS offers resume building, professionalism meetings (dress, punctuality, etc.), and...
I feel like this organization has helped me make new friends and has been an overall great experience since I have joined. NSCS has also given me the ability to hone in on my leadership skills, so I can be a better professional in my industry. Thank you NSCS!
I’m a new inductee of this upcoming 2019-2020, and I’m excited for what we’ll do this school year! I’m happy that I’m surrounded by like-minded, driven scholars!
Ever since I became a member of the NSCS, I have had many opportunities to grow as a student and to value the great things that we, as a community, can achieve. The NSCS gives you that freedom to choose however you want to help better our society. That’s why I am so excited to be...
I wouldn't say that I have much experience with this organization since I joined in late Spring 2019. However, not everyone has the chance to join this organization. That said, it is my pleasure to be a member of this organization. I was elected an officer in the first place and ...
NSCS has completely changed my life as not only a scholar, but also a business professional. I have had the privilege of being apart of NSCS for several years now and I truly could not imagine my life without it. I'm so appreciative of all of connections I have made and I can't w...
As the President of an NSCS chapter, I can truthfully say that our organization is working to make a positive impact on the world around us everyday. The National Society of Collegiate Scholars holds national philanthropic partnerships with The Alzheimer's Association and Active ...
Being in this society has been really exciting for me. There are many scholarship opportunities for everyone and this is one of the many things I like about NSCS!
This is a great organization with a lot of scholarship opportunities. Our chapter is going to be great this upcoming year and we are looking forward to pairing with Active Minds!
Becoming a member in my junior year from transfer to the University of Memphis to now being on the board shows how much confidence this organization has put into me. I could never thank them enough for everything they have instilled in me about leadership, community, and giving b...
I have been a part of the National Society of Collegiate Scholars for approximately two years now and it has helped me grow personally and professionally. I have moved up in the organization as I am now an officer and I feel as if the organization has also helped me with networki...
Great society to get involved! Very focused on helping their members find scholarships.
As a new officer, I'm super excited to see what this upcoming school year brings for my chapter! We have grown a lot in the last year, and I know that there is so much more to come!
