National HSF Chapters

As a Chapter, your organization will help host local school-wide scholarships and philanthropy events that boost the local community.

Interested in starting your own House Scholarship Foundation Chapter at your local High School or Middle School? If you're ready to start a new chapter or reinstate an existing chapter, you can begin your chapter registration here:


Read more on how to register a new chapter or reinstate an existing chapter and support your local community through school-wide scholarship events and more.

If you need help starting a chapter, feel free to send us a message using the request form below:
Next, you should find the right school administrator, teacher, or faculty member to be your Club Advisor. A Club Advisor should be able to oversee the club's operations and should be informed of any major decisions that you make.


Then, assemble your club cabinet with 4-8 officers. It is recommended that your cabinet includes the following positions:

- President
- Vice President
- Secretary
- Treasurer

Your cabinet may also include the following positions:

- Director of Communications
- Director of Publicity
- Director of Internal Affairs


Once you're done, follow your school's instructions on how to set up a club/club chapter. We'll keep in touch with you through the email you provided in your Club Coordinator registration for important progress updates and give you tips on how to run your chapter.


Some school require you to write up a club constitution or club bylaws. If you need a template, feel free to email us at info@nationalhsf.org.
