Are you interested in gaining more benefits beyond what is offered to SIS members?
Sixty five years ago, the founding scientists of FAS decided they had an ethical obligation to inform and influence our country’s decision makers on critical security and science issues. Today, FAS remains devoted to this idea, and believes that it is our responsibility as an organization to develop the next generation of scientists, engineers, and international security experts so that policy makers will continue to stay informed.
For this reason, FAS offers a membership discount for students who attend accredited universities. Student memberships are available for only $25, and last for one year.
To qualify for a FAS student membership you must be currently attending an accredited university as a undergraduate or graduate student. It should be noted that you will be asked to provide an active university email address on the donate page to verify your enrollment.
