Scholarship Application and Selection Process

National Beta Scholarship Recipients are well-rounded students who, while excelling academically, also are wholeheartedly engaged in active club participation. They are committed to school and community service and are continuously improving upon our four pillars by demonstrating leadership within their club.  The application process consists of two phases designed to select the most deserving National Beta members.
