The following program requirements must be met by all National Scholars in order to remain a member in good standing and to continue to receive the financial benefits associated with the special designation of MFCNS:
These expectations are viewed as a way of ensuring that members take full advantage of the opportunities for growth and connection. They also are designed to continue to foster the principles on which National Scholars were originally selected - academic achievement and commitment to leadership in service to community. Any difficulties individuals may have in meeting any of the expectations will be examined on a case by case basis by the Director. Each year, all National Scholars must submit an Activity Verification Form that has been confirmed by an advisor and answer specific questions in an Excellence in Leadership Essay. The deadline for submission of these materials is usually mid-April of each academic year. Failure to meet these requirements can result in a students' removal from the National Scholars program.
