Alexis begins by giving a quick overview of the variety of scholarships available through NSHSS, designed to support scholars with interests in leadership, service, academics, the arts, STEM, and more. Alexis shares which types of experiences and accomplishments, both big and small, are worth highlighting and how students can present their strengths in a way that feels true to who they are.
