Benefits of Student Membership
Students can be nominated as an Associate or Full member depending on their research experience. Associate members are nominated based upon their future research potential, while full members are nominated based upon their proven research achievement. Nomination is done by any active full member, such as the WWU Chapter officers. Contact an officer if you are interested in being nominated.
Annual students dues are $25.00. There are funds available to help with this fee for young and international scientists with limited incomes through the main Sigma Xi Chapter.
Benefits of Membership include:
