Thousands of schools and colleges throughout the U.S. and its territories have a chapter of the honor society on their campus. These member schools agree that NTHS encourages higher scholastic achievement, cultivates a desire for personal excellence, and helps top students find success in today's highly competitive workplace. Membership in NTHS is an important career and professional investment recognized by education, business and industry. NTHS awards an increasing number of scholarships each year to its members.
