All registrations must be completed online through the NSBE membership database. Please be sure that the information you provide is the student’s information unless otherwise specified.
Acceptance: Rolling (open until all spaces are filled)
The SEEK program accepts students on a first come, first serve basis. Priority is given to returning students from summers past.

Students will be sent an acceptance or waitlist notification. Students placed on the waitlist will be considered in order of application submission date if spots become available. As spots become available, we will continue accepting students from the waitlist through the first day of the program. In the event a spot becomes available, you will be contacted via phone or email.
*Due to the high demand of the program, we are unable provide specific information regarding our waitlist (i.e. position number, etc.).

Parent Orientation
Due to the high demand of the SEEK program, we require that students participate in the entire three (3) week duration of the program. Students who are unable to meet this requirement will forfeit their spot in the program for the current program year, but will be eligible to reapply the following year.
We require all parents attend a mandatory parent orientation and registration session held on the Saturday before the program begins (date and location TBA upon acceptance). Parents who do not attend the registration will forfeit their spot to a student on the waiting list. If you are unable to attend the mandatory orientation, you must arrange for a representative to attend on behalf of your child. Parental involvement is an integral part of the sustenance and growth of the SEEK program.
