How to apply for a Charter

(PLEASE NOTE: The application process and fees were established by the National Council on November 1, 2006. See the "Application to Shelter a Chapter of Nu Rho Psi" for details.)

Applications for establishing a new chapter will be accepted and reviewed on a rolling basis throughout the year. If application materials are received by 1 March of each year, the Society expects to be able to provide feedback regarding the status of applications prior to the end of the spring academic semester.

Colleges or universities with large undergraduate neuroscience programs, majors or minors, are encouraged to shelter a chapter of Nu Rho Psi. Alternatively, colleges or universities that are geographically close to one another may chose to apply for a charter as a Cooperative Chapter consisting of members from more than one school. In this case, multiple schools should be listed in the chapter application and charter.

During the initial period of colonization, the Executive Committee of FUN will serve as the National Council of Nu Rho Psi and will review all applications to shelter a Nu Rho Psi Chapter (see Transition Plan (.pdf) or Word document for Nu Rho Psi, The National Honor Society in Neuroscience).
