Any non-government, non-student employment. If you're unemployed and are job seeking, and wish to seek a scholarship for membership, please email us.

This includes any governmental agencies (a .gov or comparable email address is required) and any 501(c)(3) non-profit organizations or the international equivalent of a charitable organization. Employees of trade associations should register for private sector membership unless they need to apply for a scholarship due to financial aid reasons.

You must currently be enrolled as a student at a college or graduate school, show proof of enrollment, and use a .edu/school email address when you register.

Please only use this option if you have already emailed the Association and requested a scholarship, and you have received email approval from the Association to purchase this membership type. It is reserved for those with true financial need.
