OUR COMMITMENT TO
SUPPORT EDUCATORS

"Receiving support from NSHSS is truly meaningful, not just for me, but for the students and educators I serve. This grant helps expand opportunities for students in the Northern Mariana Islands, where access to resources can be limited, and ensures they are better prepared for college, careers, and a rapidly changing world. Many of our students face geographic barriers, and this support helps bridge those gaps. I’m grateful for NSHSS’s commitment to uplifting educators and students who are working to make a difference in their communities. This support reminds us that our work matters and that investing in education has the power to transform lives."

"Page High School AVID Club would like to extend our sincerest gratitude and thank-you for this opportunity. This support will have a lasting impact on the educational aspirations and future success of our high school students. Your support will enable us to provide them with invaluable opportunities for personal and academic growth, ultimately helping them achieve their goals of attending and succeeding in college."

"This is the first time I've heard about NSHSS and my first time applying for a grant. At first, I was unsure about it, but I decided to go for it and fill out the application form. I even asked our principal for a recommendation letter. I was so happy and grateful at the same time when I got an email from NSHSS saying my entry was chosen. I didn't expect it, so I'm really happy about it. These funds will be a big help to our club and will make our experience even more meaningful. It's great to know that there are organizations like NSHSS that support student groups like ours."

"I have had several students apply for grants and scholarships through the NSHSS and this year I decided I should apply as well! I am excited to use this grant to create more STEAM opportunities for my students this school year!"

"Receiving the NSHSS STEAM Educator Grant is an incredible honor and a meaningful investment in my students. For more than 20 years, our Science Expo has allowed high school students to become teachers, leaders, and role models while inspiring younger students through hands-on science. This grant will help remove financial barriers and provide materials so that more students can participate, create, and share their ideas. I am deeply grateful to NSHSS for supporting educators and believing in the potential of our students. This recognition reminds my students that their ideas, leadership, and hard work matter. Thank you for helping us empower the next generation of scholars to be curious, take risks, serve their communities, and recognize that they have the ability to make a positive impact on the world."

"Thank you so much for providing funds to support our second year of this important trip. We are very grateful."

"I am deeply thankful to the NSHSS for awarding me this grant to support the purchase of school supplies for my Family and Consumer Sciences (FACS) classroom. These supplies will play a crucial role in ensuring that every student has the tools they need to actively participate in lessons, regardless of their financial background. With your support, I will be able to provide resources that encourage hands-on learning and practical life skills development. Thank you for helping me create an inclusive and engaging learning environment where all students can thrive."

"After teaching for as long as I have, I never thought about applying for grants. I thought the process was way too time consuming and didn't think it would be worth the time. I was VERY wrong. The process was very easy as they explicitly tell you what they were looking for in the application and was worth the time. This was the first time I actually applied for a grant and was very fortunate to be awarded one!!! This could be you!"

"I am eternally blessed to have received this grant. I am excited at the prospect of providing my students with new resources that can pique their interest and encourage them to pursue a higher level of learning."
