The Affiliate Program for NBGSA is intended to allow members of an officially recognized Black Graduate Student Organization (BGSO) or Black Graduate Student Association (BGSA) on a college or university campus to associate its organization with the NBGSA. The mutual goal of both entities should be to unite resources and to promote the NBGSA’s mission on a national level. Click here for more information about an affiliate membership.
