AFFILIATION FEE

Any University or College that wishes to participate in any TEECA competitive events or TEECA related events at the National Conference must be officially affiliated with TEECA. Affiliation must be completed each year. To affiliate, each school must pay a $100 fee. This fee is not per student, this is per university/college. The affiliation fee does not cover conference registration for any student or faculty. This fee helps support the National Competitive Events Coordinator and is used to provide awards and scholarship money.
