ALUMNI MEMBERSHIP

The National Society of Black Engineers (NSBE) is a 501(C)(3) non-profit association that is owned and managed by its members. The organization is dedicated to the academic and professional success of African-American engineering students and professionals. NSBE offers its members leadership training, professional development, mentoring opportunities, career placement services and more! NSBE is comprised of more than 270 collegiate, 75 professional and 75 pre-college chapters nationwide and overseas. NSBE is governed by an executive board of college students and professional engineers (Alumni Board only) and is operated by a professional staff in our National Headquarters located in Alexandria, VA.

We suggest that you also read the Constitution and By-laws of our organization to give you an idea of how NSBE is structured. If you need assistance with some of the many acronyms, please use the acronym dictionary.
                                                                                                                       
Who is Eligible for Alumni Membership?

Professional membership is open to all engineering and technical professionals. All others are invited to become affiliate members.

If you choose not to be affiliated with a chapter in your local area, you will be considered a "Member At-Large," classified by your geographical region. Members "At-Large" receive the same benefits as those who belong to a chapter. To find the chapter nearest you, view the Alumni chapter listing!

What if a chapter DOES NOT Exist in My Area?

If your city or state doesn't have a chapter, we invite you to start one! It is done online in four simple steps. Simply click here to start the process today. Your other option is to join as a "Member-At-Large."

What are the Annual Dues?

Annual Alumni membership dues are $50, and may be paid directly to NSBE National Headquarters or to your chapter. Most chapters charge chapter dues (paid directly to the chapter), and these fees are in addition to the national dues.

Upon graduation, student members are strongly encouraged to continue their participation with NSBE and join the Alumni Extension of Technical Professionals. The membership dues are free to students who join within one year of graduation (a $50 value)!
                                                                                                                       
What is the Alumni Extension Membership Term?

Alumni membership is annual. Alumni membership expires on July 31st of each year, as it follows the NSBE fiscal cycle. After this date, alumni members must renew their membership status. The use of anniversary dates has been discontinued, see Memorandum. Membership application received after March 31st of any year will be processed for the following membership year, which begins August 1st.
