University of Central Florida\u2019s chapter of The National Society of Collegiate Scholars<\/a> (NSCS) was awarded Gold STAR status at the organization\u2019s convention in San Juan, Puerto Rico.<\/p>\n

The society is an honors organization for high achieving first- and second-year students, and there are more than 300 student-run chapters at universities across the country. UCF\u2019s chapter was founded in 1999.<\/p>\n

UCF chapter officers accepted the award, and the chapter also will receive a $250 Chapter Scholarship and a letter will go to UCF President John C. Hitt.<\/p>\n

To attain Gold status, chapters are required to hold an induction ceremony for new members, create a student mentoring program, hold campus events to support the society\u2019s integrity initiative, create an on-campus membership recruitment campaign and engage a campus office in a chapter event.<\/p>\n

Chapters can attain one of four STAR status levels of bronze, silver, gold or platinum. Each level is determined by the quantity and quality of events a chapter held the previous year.<\/p>\n
