Membership

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

AAUW-MA is excited to offer to you a new college student membership initiative funded by AAUW-MA’s Historic Milestone Fund. AAUW-MA will pay for AAUW Student Memberships for up to two students per branch. These students will act as college liaisons to the branch and state by promising to attend in person or virtually at least one branch or state meeting to let us know what issues are of most interest to college students. In return, our chosen students will enjoy a range of AAUW benefits to help them succeed on campus and after graduation and we will be planting the seeds for future membership in AAUW. For more details and to download the forms click on this link: College Student Membership Initiative.

Membership in AAUW is open to a graduate holding an associate or equivalent or a bachelor’s or higher degree from a regionally accredited institution. Student affiliates are enrolled in an associate’s or a bachelor’s program at an accredited two- or four-year institution.

You may choose several ways to join AAUW depending on what is right for you.
