Follow these steps:

Step 1: Ask your Student Council* to vote to join ESSA.

Step 2: Find the fee (this could be from the Student Council budget, fundraising, or you could speak to the school/college bursar, head teacher or citizenship teacher).

Step 3: Send a copy of the Council minutes, with a filled application form (downloadable application form) and cheque/ direct debit details to ESSA.
