Membership in AAUW for Students

What is an e-student affiliate?

  1. E-student affiliation status is FREE to all undergraduate students attending an AAUW college/university partner member institution.
  2. E-student affiliates are eligible to receive electronic copies of AAUW's publications and research. They have access to all AAUW's student
leadership resources and benefits.

What is the difference between a student affiliate and e-student affiliate?

  1. A student affiliate can join AAUW as a national affiliate. Student affiliates pay $17* per year for their affiliation. Student affiliates must be enrolled
as an undergraduate student in a two- or four-year regionally accredited educational institution.
  2. E-student affiliate status is only available to undergraduate students who attend an AAUW college/university partner member institution. E-student
affiliates and student affiliates basically receive the same benefits, but e-student affiliates join AAUW absolutely free thanks to their college/university's
partnership with AAUW.
  3. AAUW student affiliate status is available to all undergraduate students who do not already hold a bachelor's degree.

Are graduate students eligible for e-student affiliate status?

  1. No, graduate students are not eligible for student affiliate status.
  2. Graduate students must become full members and pay $49* in national dues.
