<p>Can anyone tell me if the National Society of High School Scholars genuine or is it a scam to get you to part with $60!!
Thanks</p>

<p>Scam—unless of course you feel you WANT that book?</p>

<p>It’s a joke–meaningless. Save the $60.</p>

4

<p>Frame the letter. Don’t waste money on anything else.</p>

<p>^^ Or give it to the grandparents. They’ll think it means something and they’ll enjoy showing it to their friends.</p>

6

<p>This has been discussed many times before on cc. If you do a search you’ll find most feel it is a waste of money.</p>

7

<p>Just as a FYI, it is not uncommon to see brand new posters with very low post counts respond to questions about organizations that people question the value or legitimacy of.</p>

8

<p>Do not participate, total waste of money. Jym’s point has been seen over and over again.</p>

<p>And another “newbie” arrives to promote this organization. Sure sound like ads to me.</p>

<p>Mcb-
People come here to ask independent opinions of these organizations. Most have probably already read the website and are looking for others’ opinions, which is why they come to sites like cc.</p>

<p>Just made this account to say that 1. I’m a member and 2. The organization’s legit; I have won scholarships (ANF). While they do require a payment for membership, it really isn’t that bad for what you get in return.</p>

<p>Shill. Second thread to be revived on this topic.</p>

<p>It is a scam if you just pay the 60 bucks to add a line on your resume.</p>

<p>However, they do offer many scholarships, and I highly suggest applying to them. This is the best that you can get out of joining it.</p>
