Request for Student Applications

Talent Search, Upward Bound and Upward Bound Math/Science Directors — It’s time to nominate your outstanding rising juniors or seniors to serve as delegates to the Council for Opportunity in Education’s National Student Leadership Congress (NSLC). Please select students who are ready for a challenging and intensive learning experience. It is important that student representatives come prepared for the rigors of a program that includes full schedules, requires open minds, and ensures leadership growth.

The registration fee is $1200 which includes housing, meals, admission fees for tours, NSLC t-shirts, and transportation while the student is in Washington D.C. The registration fee is an allowable project expense (OMB Circular A-21/A-122). The sending project is also responsible for travel expenses and making travel arrangements to Washington D.C. — Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (DCA) and Washington, D.C. (WAS) Amtrak Union Station only.

The Delegate Application (.pdf) and registration fees are both due by April 5, 2013. We will not be able to accept late or incomplete applications and will end registration once 150 completed applications and accompanying registration fees are received.

Send the application and a check, purchase order, or credit card information for the $1200 registration fee to the following address — Council for Opportunity in Education, National Student Leadership Congress, 1025 Vermont Avenue, N.W., Suite 900, Washington, D.C. 20005-3516.
