All National Honor Society, National Junior Honor Society, and National Student Council affiliates, both domestic and international, are eligible to apply for this grant. Each affiliate should only submit one application per calendar year.

The sky’s the limit in terms of your project. The NSLC and NHS both believe in the value of setting lofty goals and encourage you to pursue projects that will create the greatest good for your community. The project should be local enough that your chapter members can participate in the implementation of the initiative.

Awards will range from $500 to $2500 and will be awarded based on the merit of the application. We encourage chapters to apply for only what they need to complete the project so that as many awards as possible can be distributed.

Yes, if you have a large project and plan to request funds from multiple sources, you can request an amount that does not cover your entire anticipated project.

At the completion of your project, the NSLC would love to be able to see what wonderful work you have done in your community. You will need to provide the following within 30 days of completing your project:

• List of participants, including chapter/council members involved, other volunteers from your school, community members, etc.
• Total number of estimated service hours logged for the project by participants
• Brief reflection piece on the success of your project
• 3-5 minute video highlighting the project to be shared on social media
• Links to any project photos and videos shared on school channels
