Become a Member of IAEE

Students may join the IAEE as direct members or through a local affiliate. 

Student Definition

A student is someone who is enrolled in a degree-granting program (undergraduate or graduate) at an institution of higher learning and registered full-time according to the definition of his/her respective academic institution, and who is not employed full-time. Students must submit written verification of their student status.

Letter from a professor or other verifiable school authority at their institution attesting to their student status during membership year.

Copy of student identification card (valid for membership year).

Student Participation at Conferences

Only IAEE student members, according to the definition above, may apply for student scholarships to IAEE conferences and participate in IAEE conference events that are designated for student participation. The requirement must be met at the time of initial submission of research to the conference in question.

Thus, a member who is a full-time student at the time of initial submission of research for presentation at a IAEE conference will be eligible to participate in events designated for students even if that person's status changes such that he/she is employed full-time at the time of the conference in question.

A young professional is someone who is within two years of graduation from a full-time Bachelors, Masters or PhD program (or ABD, post-docs) and is under the age of 35. To qualify for young professional rates for a IAEE conference, a young professional must have graduated within the two years prior to the start date of the conference.

How to Qualify

A young professional must submit one of the following written verifications attesting to their young professional status:

• Copy of their transcript from the institution they attended within the last two years
• Written letter from their faculty advisor attesting that they were a full-time student within the last two years
• To verify that an individual's age is less than 35, a copy of a driver license or other government issued identity card (e.g., passport) will need to be submitted to IAEE.

Young Professional Participation at Conferences

For two years after graduation from a full-time education program, qualified young professionals may attend IAEE Conferences by paying a discounted registration rate.
