Description
The National Society of High School Scholars (NSHSS) runs this award program as part of its support for educators who inspire and guide high school students toward academic success. The awards recognize educators’ contributions to students’ academic lives, with one top recipient and nine finalists receiving financial awards.
The program focuses on educators and their work with high school students rather than a defined research topic, scientific field, or project activity. Eligible academic roles include teaching, counseling, school administration, social work, homeschooling, and test preparation. The opportunity extends to registered NSHSS Educators in both the United States and other countries.
