Being part of the National Beta community means engaging in all our organization has to offer. We rely on our National Beta members and sponsors to help grow our impact across the nation through their active involvement—and to have fun in the process!
The first step, of course, is to make sure your school or group has a club. If you want to impact and cultivate leadership skills among your students, become a sponsor and start a club.

Awards & Recognition
National Beta has a wide range of opportunities for members, sponsors, clubs, and school districts to earn rewards and recognition for their activities and efforts. We want to celebrate the ways our members and sponsors impact National Beta and we do so through membership-influenced and service-focused recognition, diploma seals, and sponsor gifts.

The National Beta Scholarship Program was designed to help our members realize their full potential by providing financial assistance toward their continued education. Each year, we award over $300,000 in scholarships to over 250 active 12th-grade Senior Beta Members.

Scholarship Application and Selection Process
National Beta Scholarship Recipients are well-rounded students who, while excelling academically, also are wholeheartedly engaged in active club participation. They are committed to school and community service and are continuously improving upon our four pillars by demonstrating leadership within their club. The application process consists of two phases designed to select the most deserving National Beta members.
Members applying will need to enter their National Beta membership identification number and last name to gain access to the application.
Members who don’t have this information can ask their National Beta Sponsor or email our National Office with their full name, school name, and state.
