“The National Society of Leadership and Success is a dream supporter,” said Gary Tuerack, the Society’s founder and chief visionary. “We ask students what they’d do if they knew they couldn’t fail, and then help fuel the steps needed to achieve it. The Scholarship Program is an important part of that, and since 2001 we’ve awarded more than $683,000 to help drive community action, volunteerism, personal growth and strong leadership for thousands of students all around the country.”

Student membership fees fund The National Society of Leadership and Success Scholarship and Grant Program. Two dollars from each registration fee is dedicated to fund the program each year. Nearly $100,000 in merit and need-based scholarships, grants and awards is available for the fall award season, which will open in early September.
