Register a Team. Make an Impact.
When you coach a Science Olympiad team, you are making an impact that will have significant ripple effects across the state of Nebraska.
Fees
The team registration fee is $150 per team. This fee covers each team's national ($75) and state ($75) membership. Membership is required to attend invitational tournaments and the state tournament. There is no additional fee for a school to compete in the state tournament. However, each invitational may charge an additional fee for participation.
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.
Team Structure Rules
- Each school can bring one B Team (Middle School) and one C Team (High School) to the State Tournament (at $150 for each team.)
- Each team is composed of 15 students or less from one school in one of the two division.
- Each team can have up to 5 alternate competitors. Alternate competitors may only compete in trial events at the state tournament.
- No teacher/coach may supervise more than one team.
- Some invitational tournament may allow you to bring a second B Team or C Team. In this case, the second team needs to only pay the national membership cost of $75.
- Division B teams may have a maximum of (5) 9th graders. Middle schools may invite five (5) of their last year’s eighth grade students to be part of a team.
- Division C teams may have a maximum of seven (7) seniors.

In this case the team registration fee for the second B Team or C Team is $75. Please use the following link for these teams only.
Payment Other Than Credit Card or Echeck
We highly encourage all teams to use the online payment processing for registration. However, if you must pay via a non-online method, then you may continue to register your team(s) by using the following option during check out:
You will then need to reach out to the Nebraska Science Olympiad team to discuss payment.
