Student Chapters: Membership rebates

Student chapters who meet the Chapter in good standing criteria are eligible for a $5 rebate per paid student member. Rebates are calculated at the end of the first week of January and sent to the chapter within February of each year.* Note that memberships expire on December 31st each year. Only those who have renewed for the coming year (by January 1st) are counted for rebates. *Rebate amounts that total less than the issuing threshold (USA/Canada > $35; International > $65) will be held in an account by ASM and not issued directly to the chapter. Funds can be requested at any time by reaching out to students@asminternational.org.
