The National Society of Collegiate Scholars (NSCS) has agreed to assist the Institute for Responsible Citizenship in its efforts to recruit outstanding students for its summer program in Washington, DC.

NSCS is an honors organization that recognizes outstanding academic achievement among first- and second-year college students. NSCS has active chapters on over 170 college and university campuses.

During this year’s recruiting period, NSCS will encourage its eligible members to apply. NSCS members who are accepted into the Institute will participate in NSCS activities, including the organization’s annual Capitol Hill Reception. IRC participants who are not currently members of NSCS will be inducted into the organization while in Washington this summer and will be encouraged to start NSCS chapters when they return to their home colleges and universities in the fall.

If you have questions about NSCS, please see their website, www.nscs.org, or contact them at ncsc@nscs.org
