I’ve read a lot of responses online that honorsociety.org is a complete scam. I dug more into the research, even stumbling across the Honorsociety.org YouTube channel. The people seem legit and nice, and there was one video I saw that they had a ceremony for the scholarship recipients. I am looking to apply for more scholarships, so is this a good idea to apply for this honor society?
The people are legit. The organization is not particularly selective…in other words…if you are willing to pay and join join, they will take you. That’s how they make their money.
My kids got these letters all the time…we flatly refused to pay a joining fee…even if they had been high flyers, and MIGHT…might have gotten a scholarship.
Use the application money as your scholarship to yourself. What is the fee now $50? Look at that…if you don’t join, you can award yourself that $50 and won’t even have to report it to the college as a scholarship.
Think about it…they are asking you to PAY them so you can apply for,a,scholarship that you probably won’t get??
