ISSWSH Membership Fund Application
  • Application for Dues Waiver

  • ISSWSH Membership fund was established to support the ISSWSH mission by promoting equity and increasing inclusion among members at all levels of the organization. 

    A full or partial waiver for membership dues is available to a member in good standing (or a member who has been in good standing within the past calendar year) whose circumstances temporarily have resulted in a significant financial hardship, (including temporary or permanent disability, catastrophe, or medical illness) or a member who chooses to provide care to underserved/marginalized populations whereby their financial reimbursement limits their ability to participate in academic organizations/activities.
