Application Guidelines

Applicant Eligibility

Applicants must be employed by an active NACUFS institutional member and receive approval from their Voting Delegate and immediate supervisor to apply.

Completing the Online Application Form

The online version of the application form MUST BE completed in one sitting.  The option to save and return to the online form is not available.  Please download the Institute Application Worksheet and use the fillable form as a starting place to draft your application.  You will still need to return to this page, cut and paste from your worksheet, and then submit the online application form.  

Applying for more than one institute in the same year. 

Submit a separate online application form for each institute. 

Application Fee

There is no application fee.  If accepted to an institute, you will need to cover your own hotel, travel and some on-site meals. Your institution may be entitled to a travel grant to defray hotel and travel costs – contact the association for more information.

Confirming your Application Submission

It is your responsibility to ensure that your application has been successfully received by NACUFS.  After you submit your online application, you will receive on-screen notification that it has been successfully submitted.  In addition, you and your Voting Delegate will receive an automated email notification of the submission.  If you do not receive either of these two notifications or want to confirm receipt, contact education@NACUFS.org prior to the application deadline.
