National STEM Honor Society™ (NSTEM™) Chapters can only be started by a school. Each school has its own unique Chapter, managed by an Advisor and Director (head of school). Members are students that attend that school.
The annual fee for each Chapter is $395.
NSTEM does not require student members to pay membership fees to NSTEM.
Chapters can be started anytime throughout the year and renew annually September 1.
Through this brief checklist below, you can begin your journey with NSTEM today!
1) Talk with your school administration about starting a Chapter
2) Determine who will be the Chapter Advisor. This individual must not be a student and will be responsible for the day-to-day operation of the Chapter.
3) Review this essential information: Constitution & Minimum Eligibility Requirements for Membership
4) Work with your school to create Chapter specific bylaws using our Sample Bylaws. Once NSTEM receives your school’s registration, we will send your team login information where the Chapter Advisor can access the Advisor Dashboard and learn how to develop your own active and engaging Chapter. Shortly after your registration, you will be sent via mail, your certificate and acceptance letter recognizing your new Chapter.
The National STEM Honor Society offers Individual Global Memberships for students. This membership is for any student Pre-K to Career who does not have access to a physical or online “school-based chapter”.
