FAQ
The bus is scheduled to leave from the parking lot in front of Dillard's at Sunrise Mall the evening of June 5 at 11:45 pm.
Our bus is scheduled to return to Brownsville (same location) on June 9 at approximately 10:30 PM.
The transportation fee can be paid through students' NHI accounts — the same system where all other payments were made.
At minimum, students will need enough money to cover the cost of breakfast on the way to the tournament, the cost of lunch on the way back, and $20 cash deposit for the keys to their room (returned the last day unless they lose their keys). All other meals (breakfast, lunch, and dinner) will be provided.
Because dinner is served earlier than many students are accustomed to, some choose to have food delivered to them later in the evening. As long as students receive their food before curfew, they may order at their discretion. Lastly, the campus has a mini-mart and a Starbucks that students often choose to purchase snacks and beverages from.

NHI Zero Tolerance Rule: If a student takes unlawful drugs or brings weapons to any organized NHI event (local or summer), parents are immediately informed, and NHI adheres to the host institution’s campus rules for the next step. Alcohol is also not tolerated, and students will be sent home immediately at their parents’ expense. Smoking tobacco and vaping is also not permitted, nor is foul language, fighting, or hazing of other students. Discovering these activities means that participants are removed from NHI rosters and may be suspended or expelled from NHI.
Firearms, Liquor, and Drugs: Firearms, liquor, and drugs are strictly forbidden while participating in NHI programs. Possession of such items constitutes grounds for immediate dismissal and notification to local authorities. Parents are contacted to make immediate arrangements for their student.
Program Boundaries: The program’s boundaries are limited to campus activity areas that are designated for NHI use. Participants or volunteers are not allowed off the campus premises except as authorized by the NHI Educational Director. Violations are cause for dismissal, including leaving the dorms after curfew hours.
