Nebraska K-12 teachers can apply for NMSSI Fellowships to defray tuition costs for NMSSI courses but funds are extremely limited this year. Tuition costs for summer 2024 will be updated on the "How much does a course cost?" page soon. Thank you for your patience as we await confirmation of summer costs.
