Charting impact

Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.

HSF seeks to achieve three goals; 1) provide scholarships to high achievers to seek their dreams, 2) create values-driven educational content, and 3) preserve the distinguished history of honor societies.

Scholarships: Today’s rising tuition can be prohibitively high for students wishing to pursue higher education, particularly those from low or middle class families. HSF has been organized to provide scholarships to those wishing to pursue continued education.

Educational Content: Ethics, morals, and values are concepts that are learned through experiences and teachings, and influence decisions throughout our lives.

Museum: Honor societies date back to America’s year of founding, expressing a rich history and positive model for all. HSF has been organized to provide a museum to preserve honor societies and their history.

The rising cost of tuition in today's economy is often the primary reason that many individuals are unable to complete their degree programs or are unable to even begin higher education studies. For students wishing to pursue higher education, particularly those from low or middle class families, the cost of tuition may be prohibitively high, often requiring costly student loans. Honor Society Foundation has been organized to provide scholarships to students in the state of Nevada and throughout the United States wishing to pursue continued education. HSF's scholarship awards will assist selected students with the amount of $1,000-$5,000 per recipient. Though the organization anticipates receiving 4,000 applications per year, it will initially award 50 scholarships per year. As the organization's contributions and investment returns grow, the total number of awards will increase as well. HSF will require transcripts and a completed application from applicants. The organization also will require reporting/receipts to show that the funds distributed directly to the students are used for educational purposes. Applications and scholarship information will be made available through the universities, colleges, and high school financial aid offices and via the internet. All undistributed donations and contributions in excess of expenses will be held for investment and ongoing scholarship awards, to ensure continued fund growth and financial support for students.

Program promotions will be made via word of mouth, social media, email newsletters, and networking with other organizations. HSF will also promote its program through the website HonorSocietyFoundation.org

In its ruling year Honor Society Foundation has provided more than 20 scholarships, created a collection of values-driven videos, and collected of 155 honor society artifacts to be preserved within its museum.
