NSBE Charleston supports students at local colleges and universities that are interested in NSBE Membership. Please email collegiate@nsbecharleston.org about establishing a chapter at your university or for assistance from the professionals chapter.

Collegiate

Collegiate Membership is open to any undergraduate or graduate student enrolled in science, technology, engineering, or math (STEM).

If you are a college student but not majoring in any of the above discipline areas, you are eligible to become a Collegiate Affiliate member.

Graduate Students

Graduate students have the option to be Professional members OR Collegiate members. We recommend you choose your membership type based on your level of involvement in NSBE. If you do more NSBE interaction on a University campus – Collegiate membership may be right for you.

If instead, you interact more with local professionals or feel like the undergraduate chapter doesn’t fit your needs, we welcome you as a NSBE Charleston Professionals member.
