The minimum GPA we will accept is a 3.0. However, the national average that most schools use is 3.5-3.75. We will also look at credit hours completed, attendance, disciplinary records, and CTSO (Career & Technical Student Organizations) membership such as Future Business Leadership of America (FBLA).
What do students get?
Full time students inducted as NTHS members prior to January each year are eligible to apply for scholarships through our website! The website for the NTHS is www.nths.org
NTHS members receive: the NTHS custom certificate, presentation folder, member pin, ID card, window decal, white graduation tassel, official NTHS diploma seal and customized general letter of recommendation for the student's career portfolio. Once the student logs in they may request up to three personal letters of recommendation for employment, college admission, or scholarship committees and gain access to our Online Career Center including these valuable services: Career Safe and Career Key.
How much does it cost?
The membership fee per student is $25. This is a one time fee. Students do not need to renew their membership. They may also transfer their membership at no charge to another charter member school once they have met the criteria that school has established.
