NSBE 50th Annual Convention

Eligibility

Eligibility to receive conference funding includes the minimum criteria needed to be considered. Most of this criterion is based on chapter and national constitution stipulations, as well as university and government requirements for travel. Eligibility to receive conference travel funding is as follows:

Prompt submission of forms and information requests

Complete the interest form no later than Jan 12, 2024. As conference approaches information will be requested to book flights, hotels rooms etc. Your timely response is critical and can cause you to lose your spot or reservations for you not to be made. Please pay attention to your email for communications.

Regular attendance & participation

A minimum of 5 NSBE sponsored spring semester events qualifies a member for selection, yet the more events a member attends the more likely they are to receive funding.

Completed membership form & paid dues

National dues ($15) are to be paid to NSBE.org, more details can be found on membership page. Chapter dues are to be paid to the chapter CashApp ($NSBEMSU) of $10. These dues are annual, meaning they are required once a year NOT per semester.

Current university enrollment as a full-time student

12+ credits

A valid government issued ID/license

Flights will be booked, and we will need you to have the proper identification.

Requirements for strong consideration
