2027 Registration for Team Membership

When you coach a Science Olympiad team, you are making an impact that will have significant ripple effects across the state of Nebraska.

Science Olympiad Team Membership Fees

Since 1985, all teams participating in any Science Olympiad tournament (Invitational, Regional, State, or National) must be official members of Science Olympiad and pay a national membership fee of $75. In Nebraska, each competing team must also pay a state membership fee of $75, bringing the total membership cost to $150 per competing team. This membership fee is paid once a year by all teams and allows the team to compete in any invitational or regional tournament and the state tournament for that year. (There may also be additional fees to attend invitational or regional tournaments.)

Additional Exhibition teams are only required to pay the national fee of $75.

Register Your Team(s) for State and National Membership for the 2027 Season

Registration and payment for team membership is handled through the University of Nebraska Omaha's Online Marketplace. Register your team(s) using the appropriate button(s) below. You can choose to pay the membership fee via credit card online or you can register here and mail your check. (Address below.)

If you choose to register more than one team, you can put them in the same cart and pay for them at the same time. (After you complete one team's registration, it will give you the option to register another team.)

All fees collected go towards covering the costs associated with the Science Olympiad. Half of the team fee covers the costs associated with running the national organization. The other half of the team fee partially covers the costs of running the state organization and the state tournament. Team fees cover only a portion of the costs. The state organization and tournament are subsidized by the University of Nebraska system, donors, grants, and the hard work and dedication of an army of volunteers. (Invitational and regional tournaments might have additional fees.)
