About NSCS

The National Society of Collegiate Scholars (NSCS) is the nation’s premiere organization for high achieving students. Founded in 1994 at The George Washington University in Washington, D.C., the NSCS is the only honor society to recognize outstanding academic achievement among first- and second-year college students. Membership is by invitation only and is offered to those freshmen and sophomore students who carry a 3.4 grade point average or higher and rank in the top 20 percent of their college class.

To this select group of students the NSCS offers the experience of a lifetime. Benefits include scholarships, access to career resources and internship positions, and leadership opportunities at both the campus and national levels.

With active chapters at more than 293 colleges and universities across the country, including all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico, the NSCS has as its goal to honor, inspire and engage. Chapters are involved in service to their individual campuses and communities, as well as in scholastic and social activities.

Information on NSCS programs and national events, including its annual national convention and opportunities to study abroad can be found at www.nscs.org

Our Chapter

The National Society of Collegiate Scholars Dominguez Hills Chapter was founded in the spring of 2008. There are more than 170 members and we strive to double this number in the upcoming year with the ongoing support of our membership. Since Jacqueline has been president, she has tried to present the Dominguez Hills chapter with an active organization. With the support of the NSCS membership and Dominguez Hills community, NSCS can be a beneficial organization. Additionally, NSCS would like to give a special thanks this year to the University Library for allowing us to have our New Member Induction in the space.
