Becoming a Member

---

With the membership fee, UNLV Scientista will be able to fund all club related expenditures. 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.  

We hold one general meeting a month during the Spring and Fall semesters at UNLV. As long as you attend at least three of those meetings you will be considered a member. The requirement will reset at the beginning of every Fall semester. Members who are unable to meet this requirement due to classes scheduled at the same time as the meeting can contact the President.

We offer volunteer hours for several of our events throughout the semester. Each member of UNLV Scientista is required to complete 5 approved volunteer hours a semester, for a total of 10 hours each year. This requirement will reset at the beginning of each fall semester.
