ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS (Minimum Qualifications)
FOR AAUW NATIONAL Membership (Note: must sign at bottom of form that you meet these requirements): I am a graduate holding an associate or equivalent (RN), baccalaureate, or higher degree from a regionally accredited institution as stated above. (Graduate and Undergraduate Students are signing that they are enrolled in qualified institution.) (Dues include National, State and Branch membership
fees.)
FOR Student Affiliates: Undergraduate Students enrolled in a two- or four- year qualified educational institution and Graduate Students enrolled in a qualified educational institution. (Fees vary by type of Student Affiliation - See website for more information)
FOR BRANCH FRIEND MEMBERS: Individuals that do not hold the required degree requirements for AAUW membership may request to join the Branch as a “Friend” member. Friend members may include up to 10% of our membership. Friend members do not pay National or State dues, because they are not eligible for National, or AAUW NJ membership, and they cannot hold an AAUW Elected Officer position. They can hold a Branch appointed Officer position, and are considered full members of the Branch.
FOR JOINING UNDER SHAPE THE FUTURE PROGRAM (Offer is first year only): Must meet AAUW Requirements of AAUW National Membership and NOT have been an AAUW Member for at least 2 years.
