If you are an “At-Large” member or not affiliated with a chapter, you need to complete a GPA Verification Form, obtain a signature from a university advisor, a counselor, or an official from the Registrar’s office, and then email it to scholarships@nsbe.org, or pci@nsbe.org for all NSBE Jr. members. This form must be signed by either the Office of the Registrar or a University Advisor. Once NSBE receives the completed form, verification will take approximately 2-3 business days.
