Outstanding Service Project Award

Created in 1994, the Outstanding Service Project (OSP) awards recognize NHS and NJHS chapters that have made significant service contributions to the local, national and global communities. With more than 23,000 active chapters, it is estimated that millions of hours of service are performed each year by our members. Each project submitted for this award is judged based on their goals and organization; service impact; and involvement. The quality and clarity of the written summary is also evaluated. 

Our corporate partner, Herff-Jones, Inc., provides the plaques for the Outstanding Service Projects each year. They are a generous and loyal supporter of the Honor Societies.

Applications for the 2012 awards were due January 27, 2012. 5 NHS and 5 NJHS chapter projects will be recognized for this award and will be notified in late March. A list of award recipients will be posted on the website at that time. Plaques provided by Herff-Jones, Inc. will be mailed to schools in May.
