The AAS will match individuals from developing nations who cannot afford membership and members willing to sponsor such individuals.

If you wish to be considered for a sponsored membership, please contact the AAS Membership Secretary and provide:

• your home country
• your status (faculty, graduate student, etc.)
• and a brief statement about how sponsorship would be helpful.

Important Note: Be sure that the subject line of your email to the AAS president reads: AAS sponsorship
Please do not use any other subject line, nor should you add to this. Thanks, this will help to ensure that your request is considered.

Likewise, if you wish to sponsor a member from a developing nation, please contact the AAS Membership Secretary.
