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, elevating, and connecting high-achievers. With a portfolio of exclusive

benefits that include access to over $750,000 dollars in scholarships, chapter funds and awards annually,

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 Mobley.

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
