How It Works for Schools and Partners

1

Partner Registration

A teacher, adviser, or organization contact registers the school or partner organization and receives account access after verification.

2

Student Registration Links

The school or partner shares dedicated student registration links. Students then select tracks, form teams, and confirm registration.

3

NIM Project Management

Student project management and submission take place through the NIM system. EAE can also be used as a general access point for available programs.

4

Review and Results

Students submit project materials during the review cycle and receive results based on project quality, evidence, and completion status.

What NIM Provides

Schools and education partners can focus on advising and student support while NIM provides the program structure, system access, and review framework.

Program and Track Information

Clear explanations of NIM tracks, registration steps, review cycles, and student submission expectations.

Partner Account and Links

Dedicated registration access so schools and partners can share the right links with students and organize teams more efficiently.

Submission Standards

Project requirements and review expectations that help advisers guide students toward stronger, more organized submissions.

Communication Support

Program language and materials that help schools and partners explain NIM's structure, fee, and value to families.
