Can professionals remain members?

Yes. Professionals can remain Honor Society® members.

Honor Society® membership is not limited to current students. Members may remain part of Honor Society as professionals at any stage of their careers.

Definition

Honor Society membership is not tied to enrollment or student status.
Becoming a professional does not create, cancel, or change membership. Membership and participation levels are separate from employment or career stage.

What happens to my membership when I become a professional?

When you transition into the workforce:

Your Honor Society® membership remains active
Your membership does not expire
You continue to be recognized as an Honor Society® member
You continue to receive communications and opportunities available to members

Becoming a professional does not affect membership status.

Do professionals still have access to scholarships and opportunities?

Yes.

As long as your membership is active:

You continue to have access to the Honor Society scholarships platform and available opportunities
Participation levels do not affect scholarship access

Each scholarship or opportunity lists its own eligibility criteria, which may specify student, graduate, or professional requirements.

Do participation levels affect professional membership?

No.

Participation levels:

Do not create membership
Do not limit membership to students
Do not affect whether professionals can remain members

Participation levels are optional enhancements available to all members.

Can professionals continue using Honor Society recognition?

Yes.

Many professionals continue to use Honor Society recognition by:

Listing membership on resumes or professional profiles
Including membership on LinkedIn or other platforms
Staying connected to member communications and opportunities

Honor Society membership is designed to remain relevant beyond school.

Do I need to update my account after becoming a professional?

Updating your profile information (such as employment status or education details) is optional. You may update it if you choose, but it is not required to remain a member.

Membership continues regardless of profile updates.

Why does Honor Society support professional members?

Honor Society is designed to provide long-term recognition and access, not temporary enrollment.

This allows members to:

Maintain recognition as their academic and professional paths evolve
Stay connected to scholarships and opportunities over time
Participate regardless of career stage
