FAQs

1. Who is eligible to participate in NUFP?

    Undergraduate students carrying full-time enrollment (as defined by their institution) who identify as being a racial or ethnic minority, or individuals with a documented disability, are eligible to participate in NUFP. Annual application procedures and deadlines are noted on the NASPA website.

2. I am a full-time graduate student interested in NUFP. Am I eligible to apply?

NUFP is a program specifically for undergraduate students. NASPA supports a Knowledge Community for Graduate Students and New Professionals, which strives to meet the differing needs of graduate students.

3. How much does it cost to participate in NUFP?

There is no direct required cost to the student or the institution in order to participate in NUFP. The program does require the senior student affairs office (SSAO) of the institution to approve of the fellow and mentor participating in the program, in light of the time staff members spend mentoring Fellows.

    Many schools also provide some funds for Fellows to attend professional development programs, such as the annual NASPA conference. However, this is not a requirement to participate in NUFP.

4. I participated in NUFP a long time ago but my name isn't on the Alumni page of the website. Why?

Please e-mail your current contact information, including title and company/institution, to NUFP@naspa.org Also include information about when you were a Fellow, at what institution, and who your mentor was. We will be happy to update the Alumni Listing to include you.
