Graduate students have the option to join as a Collegiate or Professional 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 you interact more with local professionals or feel that the undergraduate chapter doesn’t fit your needs, we welcome you as a Professional member.

Annual Dues

Membership fee is $15 annually for Collegiate members and $50 annually for Professional members. There may be additional chapter and regional dues you have to pay to be considered a fully active member. If you choose not to be affiliated with a chapter in your local area, you will be considered a member “At-Large," classified by your geographical region. Members At-Large receive the same national benefits as those who belong to a chapter. 

The NSBE membership year spans Aug. 1–July 31.
