Find support in the face of unexpected hardship
Job loss and geographic hardship from disasters or conflict can create financial challenges. ACS membership offers discounts, professional development, grants, and more to support you during uncertain times, including potential dues waivers.
Support During Job Loss and Unemployment
Your ACS membership is designed to support you through every stage of your career--both the triumphs and the challenges. If you're facing job loss, or anticipating it, you're not alone. We're here to help you navigate this difficult time and empower you to take the next steps.

Membership Dues Waivers
When life throws unexpected challenges your way, the thought of membership dues might feel like an added burden. We want to ensure you have access to ACS support and benefits when you need them most. That's why, in certain circumstances, ACS may waive your membership dues.
If you're an ACS Member and think you may be eligible for a dues waiver,
contact ACS Membership Services.

Grants & Awards
If you need extra support during your transition, we provide a wealth of awards, scholarships, and grants that could help. Your Local Section and ACS Divisions are also great sources of information and assistance, so we recommend connecting with them. Many of these opportunities go unfilled each year, so don't hesitate to apply!
