About the Student Level Membership

AAAA provides a special membership category called Student Membership for individuals who are enrolled as full-time students in an Undergraduate program at an Institution of Higher Learning or pursuing a master’s degree program in Planning, Business, Finance, Law, Tax, or Accounting. Student Membership offers valuable resources and benefits tailored to support their educational and professional growth.

Student Members enjoy a reduced annual dues rate, set at 50% of the Affiliate Member dues, while they are completing their undergraduate and/or graduate degree. This discounted rate acknowledges the financial constraints often faced by students and aims to provide affordable access to AAAA's resources and opportunities.

To be eligible for Student Membership, individuals need to complete the online application process and be prepared to upload transcripts showing current enrollment in an Institution of Higher Learning. AAAA’s Membership Committee thoroughly reviews each application, considering the applicant's student status and field of study. Following the Membership Committee's evaluation, the application is presented to the Board of Directors for a final vote on membership approval.

By offering Student Membership, AAAA seeks to support the development of aspiring professionals by providing them with access to industry-specific knowledge, networking opportunities, and a supportive community. It recognizes the importance of fostering the next generation of financial planning, finance, law, tax, and accounting professionals, and aims to facilitate their smooth transition into the industry after completing their education.

Benefits of Student Membership:

  • Access to valuable resources and information relevant to financial planning, finance, law, tax, and accounting.

  • Networking opportunities with industry professionals and fellow student members.

  • Participation in AAAA events, conferences, and seminars.

  • Reduced annual dues rate, set at 50% of the Affiliate Member dues, until completion of the undergraduate and/or graduate degree.

  • Transition pathway to professional membership categories (Advisory or Affiliate Membership) upon completion of the undergraduate and/or graduate degree.

  • Continued support and guidance from the AAAA community during the educational and professional journey.

AAAA's Student Membership aims to assist students in their academic and professional growth, providing them with the necessary tools, resources, and connections to excel in their chosen field.

Please note upon the completion of their undergraduate and/or graduate degree, Student Members are required to reapply for membership under the appropriate guidelines for either Advisory or Affiliate Membership. This ensures that as their academic journey concludes, they can transition seamlessly into a professional membership category that aligns with their qualifications and expertise.
