How Do I Become an NP:J Participant? The NP:J Teacher and Student Applications are both two-page documents including the Letter of Understanding. Applications must be received by The Laurasian Institution by November 19, 2007. Students' signed applications, deposits and any scholarship applications must accompany the teacher's application.
