Membership into the National Honor Society allows students to apply for over 400 college scholarships not available to other students. Members also have access to numerous college planning services.

Each chapter is required to publish its qualifications for membership, which is based on the four pillars of NHS:

1. Scholarship
   Per national guidelines, at a minimum, students must have a cumulative GPA of 85, B, 3.5 on a 4.0 scale, or equivalent standard of excellence. (Each school chapter is allowed to require a higher cumulative GPA.)

2. Service
   This involves voluntary contributions made by a student to the school or community, done without compensation.

3. Leadership
   Student leaders are those who are resourceful, good problem solvers, and idea contributors. Leadership experiences can be drawn from school or community activities while working with or for others.

4. Character
   The student of good character is cooperative; demonstrates high standards of honesty and reliability; shows courtesy, concern, and respect for others; and generally maintains a clean disciplinary record.
