Make a Donation: Why Give?

The NSHSS Foundation accepts gifts from individuals, corporations, foundations, and government agencies that share our mission to support education in the form of scholarships targeted at high-achieving students from all backgrounds.

Your gift of any amount helps provide scholarship funding to reduce financial barriers for students with academic and leadership potential and the desire to pursue careers in the STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) disciplines or in the arts, business, economics, public policy, environmental science and sustainability fields.

The National Society of High School Scholars (NSHSS) covers the majority of the NSHSS Foundation’s operating costs through in-kind support. Your charitable gift goes entirely to students.

Gifts made to the NSHSS Foundation, a 501(c)(3) non-profit public charity, are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law. The NSHSS Foundation (the charitable arm of the NSHSS) holds a GuideStar (now Candid) Gold Seal of Transparency.
