Unveiling the Mystery: How Does NSHSS Get Your Information?
Have you ever wondered how NSHSS gets your information when you’re not even a member of the organization? If you’re a high school student, you might have received an invitation to join the National Society of High School Scholars (NSHSS) through email or postal mail even if you’re not in the top 10% of your class. Many students find this strange and question how NSHSS obtained their information.
Let’s explore how NSHSS gets your information and the reason behind it.
The Sources of Information for NSHSS
NSHSS obtains your information from various sources, including:
1. School Databases: NSHSS partners with some schools to obtain the information they need. When you join high school, your school administrator may have provided NSHSS with your name, address, and GPA.
2. Standardized Test Scores: NSHSS also obtains your information from the standardized tests you’ve taken in school. Tests such as PSAT, SAT, and ACT provide educational organizations with the necessary information to profile students.
3. Other Educational Organizations: NSHSS also obtains your information from other educational organizations. The College Board and the National Merit Scholarship Corporation are two organizations that share information with NSHSS.
It’s worth noting that NSHSS doesn’t purchase your information from third-party sources. NSHSS only acquires your details from institutions mentioned above.
But why does NSHSS acquire your information?
NSHSS acquires your information to invite you to join their organization and access the benefits they offer.
Membership in NSHSS provides students with exclusive opportunities, scholarships, and resources only available to the select few. To access these benefits, NSHSS must identify eligible students and reach out to them. That’s why they use these sources to obtain your information.
Protecting Your Information
NSHSS values your privacy and works to protect your information. They only collect the information they need and use it solely for the intended purpose. They don’t share your information with other organizations, and they don’t sell it to third-party sources. Once your information is in their database, they secure it and only access it when necessary.
Conclusion
NSHSS obtains your information from schools, standardized tests, and other educational organizations to provide you with exclusive opportunities and resources. They use the information solely for the intended purpose and keep it secure.
The next time you receive an invitation from NSHSS, you know how they got your information. If you’re interested in accessing the benefits NSHSS offers, consider accepting the invitation.
