Through grants, the Foundation directly supports student activities that enrich the NSS community.

Students applying will be asked to make a pitch to the Foundation's directors: you'll explain how your project / club will benefit or reflect well on the NSS community. The Foundation decides grant funding based on need, project merit and accountability.

It's no small feat to design, build and test robots that compete in national and global competitions. During their second competition of 2022, Crimson Revolution won the Rookie Inspiration Award.
Laila, Cat, Ellen, Sophia and Gus prepared for and entered the Ethics Bowl and made quite an impression on the national stage.
Club members' rockets were assembled and painted, culminating in a glorious Launch Day in Spring 2022. Stay tuned for images.
