Education Agency Membership (Schools of Nursing)
An education agency membership provides considerable savings to the faculty and sends a strong message that your institution, like the NLN is committed to encouraging the lifelong pursuit of faculty development. Full- and part-time faculty at NLN member education agencies receive NLN membership at no additional charge (A current faculty roster with email addresses must be supplied to the NLN with application and annually upon renewal)
This category is designed to reflect more accurately the needs of our agency members by taking into account the size of each education institution's entire nursing program. Membership fees are based on the total number of students who graduated from the combined nursing education programs located on one campus the previous year. Schools are asked to provide this data with the application (and annually with renewal). These fees will be determined according to the following sliding scale:
| 0 - 50 graduates | $935 |
| 51 - 100 graduates | $1,155 |
| 101 or more graduates | $1,375 |
