MRS University Chapter Annual Activity Report and Chapter Rebate Submission

The deadline for MRS University Chapter annual activity reports and rebate applications is June 15.  In the event that June 15 falls on a weekend, the deadline will be the Monday immediately following.

A completed report for the past academic year must accompany your rebate request, and must be received at MRS Headquarters no later than 5PM eastern time on the day of the deadline. Rebate applications may be disqualified if received after this date. E-mail submissions are also permitted.

MRS University Chapter Annual Activity Report
Please follow this format to submit your annual activity report. This new form was developed with input from both Chapter representatives and the Academic Affairs Committee.  The objective is to make the reporting process both more effective and more efficient. To that end, constructive comments from University Chapters are always welcome.

Chapter Rebates A roster of your Chapter members must accompany your annual activity report. (Download the Chapter Rebate form) For each Chapter member who is also a current student member of MRS, the Chapter is entitled to a $10 rebate.  Regular members (e.g., faculty advisors) should also be listed on the roster, but will NOT count toward the rebate.  

Because many MRS members have similar names, it is important that you provide complete address information for each of your Chapter members.  Please provide mailing address, phone, fax and e-mail addresses.  This will help us to verify your roster more quickly and should enable more rapid issuance of your rebate check.  

Using the roster you provide, MRS will verify those Chapter members who are also current members of the Society, and will then issue your rebate check by the end of July.

MRS University Chapter annual activity reports, and applications and rosters for MRS University Chapter rebates, may be submitted to:
