Application & Qualification Requirements

To help applicants be ready to complete the NELLS application, please ensure that you have all of the information at hand.

  • Active NELA Membership: Must be a current NELA member. If needed, you will be able to join or renew your standalone NELA membership as you complete your NELLS application. If you have a joint membership through your state association, you will need to renew through their website, not through NELA and the NELLS application.
    • If you have recently renewed your joint membership through your state association, and you are encountering an error when trying to log-in to complete your NELLS application, we have likely not yet received your updated membership information from your state association. Please email Megan Bishop at [email protected] with a receipt showing your updated/paid membership through your state association, and we can update your membership in our system, so that you are able to complete your application.
  • Code of Conduct: Must agree to abide by the NELA Code of Conduct.
  • Resume: A current resume with 1 - 2 additional names and contact information of people who would be willing to speak to your leadership potential. The selection committee will reach out to these references if more information is needed to make a decision.
  • Letter of Recommendation: One letter of recommendation from someone who can speak to your leadership qualities and contributions, and address why you would make a good candidate for this program. There is no required length for letters, but generally do not need to be more than one page.
