(04/22/2009)
Michaela Leigh Yoak of Grantsville has accepted membership in The National Society of Collegiate Scholars (NSCS). Michaela will be honored during an Induction Convocation this fall on the campus of West Virginia University.

Michaela, the daughter of Randy and Tammy Yoak of Grantsville, has also recently become a member of Phi Sigma Theta at WVU.

Phi Sigma Theta is a national honor society dedicated to recognizing and rewarding academic achievement in undergraduates at institutions of higher learning.

"NSCS is more than just a symbol of academic achievement. Membership gives students access to a number of amazing benefits including career and networking resources, scholarships, travel, and service projects both on campus and in the community," says Stephen E. Loflin, NSCS executive director.

NSCS is a member of the Association of College Honor Societies and is the nation's only interdisciplinary honors organization for first and second-year college students. Membership is by invitation only, based on grade point average and class standing. NSCS has more than 650,000 lifetime members and 228 chapters in all 50 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico.
