01/07/2010 The National Honor & Merit Scholars Society believes in rewarding its members for their academic, service and leadership excellence. To do so, scholarships are granted to qualified achievers who have demonstrated a high commitment to the standards set by the Society's constituents.

Upon being accepted into The National Honor & Merit Scholars Society , applicants are reviewed for scholarship eligibility. A selection committee comprised of Senior Officers carefully evaluates each application. Evaluation is based upon numerous factors, including: academic honors and recognition, current GPA, civil service, leadership experiences and any accomplishments pertinent to the Society.

All scholarships are funded by membership fees and are only available to current members of The National Honor & Merit Scholars Society. The total number and amount of scholarships are based upon the funds available to the Society at the end of each fiscal year. Each member of The National Honor & Merit Scholars Society will be considered for a scholarship every time their file is updated. Files may be updated each year by completing the Member Update Form, but are not mandatory for maintaining membership in the Society. Scholarships are granted to high school, undergraduate and graduate students alike and will be awarded at the beginning of each calendar year.
