What Is the Collegiate World Series?

The Collegiate World Series is NHI's capstone program for high school seniors. It introduces students to community social entrepreneurship as part of their continued involvement in leadership training, while connecting them directly with NHI's consortium of notable colleges and universities.

Nearly 450 high school students and 100 undergraduate students attend this event, along with an additional 100 alumni who convene to discuss ways of furthering the work and mission of the organization. Features include a private college fair, an alumni awards banquet, student entertainment, awards recognition, and opportunities for all participants to broaden their social networks.

For Austin NHI students, the CWS represents the culmination of a multi-year journey that began with the Great Debate — proof that the leadership pipeline works.

CWS was the culmination of everything NHI taught me. I walked into that college fair knowing exactly who I was and what I wanted. Three of the universities I met there offered me scholarships. — [PLACEHOLDER: Student Name], [PLACEHOLDER: University]
