Nation’s premier collegiate honor society inducts Katelynn M Basinger

Ohio State Marion sophomore aviation engineering major Katelynn M Basinger has accepted an invitation of lifetime membership in The National Society of Collegiate Scholars (NSCS), the nation’s leading certified honor society for high-achieving first- and second-year college students with a minimum of a 3.4 GPA.

NSCS is an honors organization that invites less than ten percent of all eligible students nationwide to join the ranks of its diverse membership each year.  A leading interdisciplinary academic honor society, NSCS is made up of scholars from two-year, four-year and online institutions. 

“NSCS is more than just a symbol of academic achievement; it is a distinction of honor,” said Steve Loflin, NSCS Founder. “Our scholars are some of the best of the best who have shown an unwavering commitment to academic excellence early in their collegiate journey.  These dynamic individuals embody the NSCS pillars of scholarship, leadership, and service, and many go on to become active contributors within their respective fields.”

Founded in 1994 by veteran student affairs professional Stephen Loflin, NSCS continues to remain true to its promise of recognizing, elevation, and connecting high-achievers.  With a portfolio of exclusive benefits that include access to over $500,000 dollars in scholarships, chapter funds and awards annually, professional development resources, exclusive tailors content, and leadership and service experiences, NSCS is poised to support member growth and development throughout their academic and collegiate journey.

“NSCS members’ deep commitment to service, integrity and scholarship positively impact their campuses and local communities every day,” said Loflin.

Notable NSCS distinguished honorary members include former president Jimmy Carter, U.S. Ambassador Dr. Robin Renee Sanders, the late Senator John McCain, and former U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services Donna Shalala.

“We welcome Katelynn M Basinger to our community of like-minded, high-achieving nationwide scholars,” Loflin said.

The Nation Society of Collegiate Scholars (NSCS) is an honors organization that recognizes and elevates high-achieving first-and-second year college students.  With its three pillars of scholarship, leadership, and service, NSCS is proud to provide career and graduate school connections, leadership and service opportunities and gives out more than $500,000 in scholarships (often with multiple recipients per award), awards and chapter funds annually.  NSCS has nearly 300 chapters nation-wide and nearly two million lifetime members globally.  NSCS is a 501 (c)(3) registered nonprofit, certified member of the Association of Community Colleges, and 100 percent FERPA compliant, per an independent review by AACRAO.  Learn more at nscs.org.
