Your membership in AWSS provides revenues that are an essential part of keeping AWSS operations running; they help fund initiatives ranging from the biennial conference to our annual awards, to our support of women scholars who are actively working in Ukraine today.

Graduate Student Membership

Graduate students are eligible for additional benefits of AWSS membership. First, the graduate student rate is $15/year instead of $40. In addition, graduate students who wish to participate in our biennial conference are eligible to receive funding for conference registration and lodging at the hotel. Finally, graduate students are encouraged to take part in our mentoring program, which pairs up graduate students with AWSS members whose research interests, fields, experiences, and goals align.

Lifetime Membership

For $400 you can become a lifetime member. You’ll automatically have access to all our resources, awards, prizes, conferences, and programs and never have to worry about your membership status again!
