National Beta is proud to announce the recipients of its 2024 National Beta Scholarship Program, selected earlier this month.
Each year, National Beta awards over $300,000 in scholarships to outstanding members in the 12th grade. Selection of National Beta Scholarship winners is based on several factors with special emphasis on academic excellence, demonstrated leadership, commendable character, school and community service, as well as National Beta involvement.
