Student Information

Upward Bound and Talent Search Directors and Staff —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.

Please emphasize to your students and personnel that the National Student Leadership Congress requires dedication and should only be attended by your most committed student(s). Your students will return to your program with a great deal to share with their peers!

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. (DCA — Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport only).

The Delegate Application Form (.pdf) and registration fees are both due by April 15, 2011. 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.
