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.

Unemployment
If you have become unemployed and have been an ACS Member or 中国365bet中文官网 Affiliate with at least one year of paid dues, ACS may waive your national dues for one year.
Geographic Hardship
If you live in an area that is experiencing a natural disaster or conflict, ACS may waive your national dues for one year.聽ACS attempts to proactively notify its global community in known regions undergoing difficulty but if you have not heard from us and are dealing with extenuating circumstances, please contact Membership Services.

If you're an ACS Member and think you may be eligible for a dues waiver,
contact ACS Membership Services.
