I may meet more than one of the qualifications depicted in the criteria, however, there are many students I know of who have had much more success in high school and have not recieved your letter. I will hold on to your invitation in case I change my mind but honestly I don't see how your organization is special in any way and I especially don't see how the benefits your organization provides justify a fee of $60. Can you explain to me what exactly that money pays for? I work hard for my money.

@megs111694 NSHSS is an honor society that offers a lot of great benefits. Like most membership organizations, a fee is charged to help cover the organizational costs of fulfilling the mission of the Society. For those students who elect to join, the fee is one-time only. NSHSS also offers fee waivers to families that are suffering from financial hardship. It is our commitment that the membership fee and its payment never stands in the way of a qualified student becoming a member.

I just recently got a letter and i want to know if i can waive my fee if my mom is currently laid off from work. Also, is the Graduation honor cord for free because my letter states that it is included, but i'm not sure what this word included mean. I just want to make sure I dont make any mistakes since it's a money matter. Thank you

[NSHSS]

@cindyli481 Thank you for your post. It is our commitment that the membership fee and its payment never stands in the way of a qualified student becoming a member. We offer partial and full fee waivers for qualified applicants. An application is required in order to be considered for a fee waiver. Please visit the FAQ section of our website to download the fee waiver application. The graduation honor cord will be included in your member kit.

@NSHSS I have one more last Question. So then i really wanted to buy the honor medallion and honor stole but i wouldnt have enough money to pay so can i just fill out the half feewaiver or full feewaiver so i have the opportunity to pay for the stole and medal?

[NSHSS]

@cindyli481 Yes and you can also purchase the medallion and stole at any time in our member store even after you submit the fee waiver application.

This is pathetic. No one has ever heard of this organization. They spam whoever's info they can. Anybody find it funny how many people dont have the 3.5 GPA but got a acceptance? Its a for-profit BUSINESS, they scam kids into feeling special to pay for nothing. How do you sleep at night knowing you pray on naive people who you trick into feeling special so you can rake a profit at the end of every week?

@NSHSS you people scam kids into thinking that they actually accomplished something, then you take their 60 dollars for nothing
