School Finances FAQ

1. Log in to your NSDA account on www.speechanddebate.org and select “Account” in the top right corner of the page.
2. Select the “Renew School” button in the School Membership pod that appears in the middle of your school’s profile.
3. Review all of your school’s information to ensure it is accurate and up to date. Scroll to the bottom of the page and select “Next Step.” Review your Coaches Roster for accuracy and select “Next Step” again.
4. Select all memberships for which you would like to make a purchase. The school’s membership of $349 will be automatically selected. You can also choose to purchase NFHS memberships for your coaches. Once you have selected everything you would like to purchase, select “Create Invoice and Proceed to Checkout.”
5. After creating the invoice, you will notice that the credit you had on your account was automatically applied to the invoice you created. If the credit covered the entire invoice, the invoice will show as Paid with $0 due. If the credit covered only a portion of the invoice total, the modified total needed to pay will show up at the bottom. For example, if you have $200 in credit and create an invoice for the school’s membership of $349, the total on the invoice will now show up as $149. Note: If there is any remaining credit after the dues are paid, credit will be applied to any invoice until the credit is gone.
