FAQ
Can I put the same activity in both the leadership and co-curricular sections? (or leadership & service, or service & co-curricular, or all three)
​
You can only put the same activity / club in two different sections if you are talking about two different years. For example, if you were only a member of WISE in your freshman year but became treasurer in your sophomore year, you can put "WISE club" under Co-Curricular activities for 9th grade and "treasurer of WISE" under Leadership for 10th grade. Double-dipping activities of the same year is NOT allowed.
​
Can I include a job I held after March 2025 in the work experience section?
​
Yes. The June 2022 to March 2025 time range applies only to the service portion of the application.
​
I am a sophomore. Does the time range for service still begin on June 2022 for me?
​
The time range for service begins in the June before your freshman year and ends on March 2025. So for juniors, the time frame is June 2022 - March 2025. For sophomores, the time frame is June 2023 - March 2025.
​
I have a community service form/proof of service with the sponsor's signature on it. Do I still need to get their signature on the NHS application itself if I'm going to attach the proof that I have?
​
No. Just attaching the proof would be enough.
