Q:TIP- Cost for Colleges to Attend NACA

As a college booking agency, one of our primary goals is partnering with schools to help grow their music programming. That's a tough challege as student activity budgets continue to be wittled-down. One of our primary goals is to help colleges be good stewards of their budgets. Sometimes it's helpful to get a "birds-eye" view of a yearly expense, so for this blog post, we're going to focus in on expenses for a college wanting to attend NACA.

NACA Annual Membership Fee for Colleges
$400-$950 for membership depending on the school's Full Time Enrollment

NACA Regional Conference Expenses for Colleges

• $180 registration fee per student / advisor (delegate)
• $150 per hotel room per night (2-4 people)
• 2-5 meals on your own per delegate
• Transportation expenses (via van, airline, etc.)

Estimated Expenses for a Regional Conference

• Smaller school taking three delegates: $1,450 plus transportation expenses
• Larger school taking ten delegates: $5,300 plus transportation expenses

NACA National Conference Expenses for Colleges

• $375 registration fee per student / advisor (delegate)
