No Award in Sight: National Technical Honor Society Lures and Lets Fall In recent updates from National Technical Honor Society (NTHS) chapters across the country, one quiet but significant trend has emerged: no awards are being awarded this year. Known for recognizing excellence in technical skill, innovation, and academic achievement, NTHS typically celebrates its members with a range of honors—only to find themselves in an unexpected hiatus this cycle with no national awards announced. ### What’s Happening? The absence of national awards—commonly awarded in key categories like Engineering, Computer Science, Technology Leadership, and Innovation—signals a broader shift within the organization. While the reasons remain unconfirmed, potential contributors include financial constraints, declining membership in certain member schools, and evolving priorities in technical education.
