Members will be able to participate in all Scientista events, enjoy all our resources, be eligible for scholarships, and join committees/the executive board. Members will also receive a discount and have the ability to apply for travel grants for the annual National Scientista Symposium and/or other related conferences.  

Please see below "How to become a member" to view the requirements on how you can graduate with an official UNLV Scientista Cord.

1. Pay membership fee using the "Donate Now" Pay Pal button below.(You do not need a Paypal Membership in order to pay for the membership fee).

2. Fill out the application form: https://goo.gl/forms/MUmxPp4X4AndZFp22

Once all of this information has been received and your eligibility to become an official member has been verified, we will send you a conformational email, as well as an invite to join our RSO through the UNLV Involvement Center. 

Members will receive their graduation cord if they have completed at least 20 approved volunteer hours within the two years prior to their graduation date. This means that you have completed at least 5 hours each semester for 4 semesters straight, making it two years. Hours do not roll over from years before or from semesters before, so you must complete at least 5 hours each of those 4 semesters to meet 20 hours.

Members will receive their graduation cord if they have also attended at least 6 general meetings within the two years prior to their graduation date. Meetings do not roll over as well.

Finally, a member will receive their graduation cord if they have paid their membership dues prior to their graduation date.

This donation amount goes directly into the UNLV Scientista scholarship fund, details to be announced soon.

This donation amount funds one Scientista to take their professional school entrance exam (i.e. MCAT or GRE)
