NSCS members are also eligible to participate in a variety of activities sponsored by the Society. Scholarships and awards, leadership development activities, service programs, community building and information sharing are the focus of activities organized nationally.
In the spring of 2001, five Georgetown students started the Georgetown University Chapter of the National Society of Collegiate Scholars with an explicit Mission Statement and Constitution. In the fall of 2001, 100 Georgetown students were inducted into the Society. In the first year of NSCS at Georgetown University, the founders initiated a number of activities and programs, including community service initiatives and a mentoring program. In the fall of 2002, an additional 200 students were inducted in the ICC Auditorium and another year of campus scholarship, leadership, and service followed. Now in its fifth year on the Hilltop, the Georgetown University Chapter has evolved to include activities not only relating to leadership, scholarship, and service, but also those that are social in nature. In addition, the Georgetown NSCS Chapter has expanded its mentoring program into a nationally recognized Planning for College Success initiative which works with 7th grade students to improve their high school applications and essays to ensure entrance and financial aid to any high school in the Washington, DC area. |
