At least 2-weeks before the start of your mini-mission you should finalize your mini-mission by sending NESSP your participant’s information. If you would like NESSP to provide t-shirts for your participants, please send us the student information as soon as possible.
Before you fill out the second registration form:
- Finalize your mini-missions schedule including dates, times, and locations. Be prepared to upload a schedule that describes the dates and times of your mini-mission and a short description of the planned activities.
- Download the Student Information Spreadsheet and fill in your participant’s information.
- Be prepared to request extra support, such as help running the scholarship session, a college student panel, or teaching assistant support. If you want NESSP to virtually visit your event, please give specific dates and times.
