Apply to Start an Affiliate

The success of ESP relies on our ability to reach members of our three constituent groups across North Carolina. Our most effective means of accomplishing that goal is through affiliate organizations that, with the support and resources of our core team. ESP affiliates are clubs or student organizations at universities, community colleges, and high schools that are provided ESP branding and resources tailored for the groups they serve. Applying to start an affiliate is a decision to bring additional resources and support to students at your educational institution written with the experience of students who have already walked that path.

The procedure for starting your journey as an ESP affiliate is simple.

After you apply using the form below, an ESP outreach liaison from ESP will reach out to you to discuss your plans, your institution, and any questions you have regarding ESP. After approving your application, the liaison will work with you during the early stages of establishing your affiliate, answering any questions you may have and helping you troubleshoot obstacles. While this may sound like a significant process, accomplishing our mission requires that we expand to institutions across the state so that we can meet students where they’re at and support them as soon in their education journey as we can. As a result, we want you to start an affiliate and will be diligent to assist you wherever needed.
