Student Chapter Formation Application

As members of NKBA Student Chapters, students gain greater insight into their field of study and strengthen their foundational knowledge. Learning that occurs outside of the classroom helps students grow personally and professionally, as they develop skills like organization, time management, cooperation, and leadership.

Student chapters facilitate a variety of programs for the benefit of their members and campus communities. These events include guest speakers, field trips, social gatherings, and volunteer initiatives. Each student chapter is expected to collaborate with their professional chapter to hold at least one event per year. Extracurricular activities are a great way for students to supplement their classroom instruction, make valuable connections in the field, and discover the value of ongoing NKBA membership.

After receiving approval, a newly formed student chapter will receive a $500 grant thanks to the generosity of Sub-Zero Group, Inc. After becoming established, student chapters are eligible to receive a $500 grant annually. They must submit the Student Chapter Financial Activity report by October 31 each year to receive the funding.
