    Frequently asked questions

    What is Scholar's Day?

    Scholar's Day is NSHSS's signature event and largest of the year. Over the years, NSHSS has hosted thousands of members, families, partners, and friends at Scholar's Day events in Washington, D.C., and Atlanta, GA. Fun fact: the first Scholar's Day was held in the US Senate!

    Do I have to purchase tickets for my whole family?

    Yes! To be admitted to Scholar's Day, each member, parent, or guest must purchase a ticket in order to attend. Your ticket is your name badge, so make sure the name on each ticket is correct and your whole party is accounted for.

    Does NSHSS provide accommodations or transportation?

    Each attendee is responsible for their own accommodations and transportation arrangements. NSHSS does not assist with airfare or hotels; however, we provide a discounted hotel room block. See the hotel booking link above.

    I can only attend on Saturday, can I buy a one-day ticket?

    Scholar's Day tickets are only sold as a 2-day ticket package, but it is not mandatory to attend both days. Most of the programming, educational sessions, breakfast, and the Member Recognition Ceremony will be on Saturday, so you won't miss it! Registration will be open again on Saturday morning.
