Chapter Spotlight Application Categories

Academic Focus

This category will demonstrate how a chapter works to establish or maintain a project focused on supporting the academic growth of a target audience within their school or local community.

Community Engagement

The purpose of this category is to demonstrate how NEHS chapters are focused on promoting life-long learning and the celebration of reading, writing, film, and the arts in their local community.

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion

This category will demonstrate how NEHS chapters are promoting diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging in various forms within their school or local community.

Collaborative Projects

The purpose of this category is to demonstrate how NEHS chapters are working with other NEHS chapters, other high school Honor Societies, or Sigma Tau Delta and Sigma Kappa Delta chapters on collaborative projects impacting their school or local community.

Award Requirements

Winners should note that they will be required to provide a written report and photos detailing the impact the award has had on them, which can be used by NEHS to promote this and other awards in future years.

Evaluation Process

  1. All Chapter Spotlight submissions will automatically be entered into the Exemplary Chapter Project Award and will be evaluated by the NEHS Advisory Council.
  2. Awards will be given purely based on merit, not based on the imperative that all funds should be spent annually.
