5. Start the payment process.
It takes time to have a college/university check approved. Don’t let this be a roadblock! If an invoice is needed please email studentchapters@aisnet.org. The yearly membership fee is $495 for schools in the US and Canada. AIS has a graduated payment scale based on the United Nations Human Development Index.
