Membership Options and Dues

Membership Options and Dues

  • Local Branch Member: Individuals interested in becoming branch members would pay national, state, and local dues directly to their local branch (national = $67, state = $10, local = varies by branch).   Contact information for the local branches can be found here.
  • National Member: Individuals interested in joining at the national level only would pay annual dues of $67 directly to AAUW. Of that amount, $63 is tax deductible as a charitable contribution.  Join online or call 1-800-326-AAUW for an application.
  • Student Affiliates: Undergraduate students enrolled in a two- or four- year regionally accredited educational institution can join as student affiliates for $18.81. Join online.
  • Graduate Students: Graduate students enrolled in a regionally accredited educational institution can join AAUW for $18.81.
  • Paid Life Membership: Exempts members from annual national dues, but local state and branch dues must still be paid.
  • Honorary Life Membership: 50-year members and others honored are exempt from all dues: national, state and branch.
  • Give a Grad a Gift:  National dues are waived for one year under the Give-A-Grad-A-Gift program. The form to give this national membership can be found online. If you would also like to gift a free one-year state membership to a graduate, please contact Iowa Membership VP Elaine Kresse. Dues vary by state and local branch, so if you wish to also join at the state and local level somewhere outside of Iowa, you would need to contact that state AAUW organization for more information.
