Description
The National Society of High School Scholars (NSHSS) offers Experiential Learning Grants to help high school educators provide hands-on opportunities for their students and classrooms. The program focuses on learning by doing, paired with reflection, so students can connect theories and knowledge learned in class with real-world situations.
The grants support experiential opportunities that stimulate academic inquiry and promote interdisciplinary learning, civic engagement, career development, cultural awareness, leadership, and other professional and intellectual skills. The application asks educators to describe specific resources or opportunities they provide and explain how these benefit student learning, including engagement with complex topics.
