Membership Eligibility

An individual holding an associate’s (or equivalent, e.g., RN), bachelor’s, or higher degree from a U.S. “Accredited Higher Education institution” or other qualified educational institution located outside the U.S., as determined by the AAUW Board of Directors, is eligible for AAUW membership. Membership is granted upon payment of AAUW dues.

 

In principle and in practice, AAUW values and seeks a diverse membership. There shall be no barriers to full participation in this organization based on gender, race, creed, age, sexual orientation, national origin, disability or class.

 

Types of individual memberships:

• Regular Membership: Renewable annually.  Payment includes National, State, and Branch dues

• Life Membership

• Paid: An individual member can become a Life Member upon a one-time payment of 20 years’ annual AAUW dues. Thereafter, they are exempt from payment of AAUW National dues.

• 50-year Honorary: An individual who has paid AAUW dues for 50 years shall become an Honorary Life Member and is thereafter exempt from payment of National, Florida, and Vero Beach Branch dues.

• Dual Membership – i.e., membership in more than one branch. 

  • A dual member pays all local branch dues in each branch to which s/he belongs.

  • National membership is recorded, and National dues paid through only one branch, which becomes the member’s primary branch.

  • A member holding dual membership in branches in two separate states pays state dues in the primary branch, where National dues are paid. Out-of-state dual members must pay AAUW Florida dues to receive Florida publications.
