Research Journal
Each year, NSHSS and its partners award more than $2.5 million in scholarships and educator grants. One of the many scholarship opportunities we offer to students is the “NSHSS Research and Academic Paper Scholarship.” This scholarship, which has over 1,200 submissions each year, recognizes the top students who have written academic papers, such as a research paper, an original essay, or an analytical paper.
These young scholars represent the future of research and analysis, conducting investigations into topics that impact humanity and our societies at large. NSHSS seeks to further recognize and acknowledge the incredible work that our young members are doing. These academics have the potential to be our future Nobel Laureates and are part of a worldwide network of high-achieving scholars equipped to lead impact-driven initiatives
for the next generation in their schools, workplaces, and communities.
It is our great honor to introduce you to The NSHSS Student Research Journal and the extraordinary students who created its contents.
