An annual national scholarship program open only to active, dues-paying senior members of the National Beta Club — a K-12 academic honor and service organization — awarding 260 scholarships totaling over $300,000 each year, from $1,000 awards up to a single $20,000 top award. Phase 1 (all applicants) requires a transcript, unweighted GPA, ACT/SAT scores, and documentation of Beta event participation, leadership, and service hours; the top 100 semifinalists advance to Phase 2, requiring a sponsor recommendation, 1-3 candidate evaluations, two essays, and work history before final winners are chosen.
Eligibility
DemographicsApplicant must be an active (dues-paying) National Beta Club member in 12th grade at a chartered school/club — club membership is a prerequisite, not just high school enrollment. Essay and recommendation requirements apply only to the top 100 semifinalists (Phase 2), not all applicants.
