Welcome to Mortar Board

Mortar Board is the premier national honor society recognizing college seniors for superior achievement in scholarship, leadership and service. Only a select few students on each campus are invited to join this esteemed society – an honor naming them among the most amazing college scholar-leaders in the U.S.

Mortar Board members are not only recognized as the top scholars and leaders on their campuses, but are presented with the unique opportunity to join a diverse group of students from vastly different disciplines and interests in this great Society. Members often rave about their ability to interact with intelligent and insightful members they may not have otherwise known.

Membership in Mortar Board is synonymous with dedication and success. Many Mortar Board members have gone on to have amazingly successful careers, win prestigious awards, and contribute unmatched service to their communities.

Since Mortar Board’s establishment in 1918, nearly a quarter of a million venerated members have held the honor of being initiated at 228 chartered chapters across the nation. Our Society provides its members with opportunities for continued leadership development, promotes service to colleges and universities and encourages lifelong contributions to the global community. Additionally, Mortar Board offers numerous benefits to members, including career networking, fellowships and awards.
