LOCAL MEMBERSHIP
We have two types of membership--local and national. Local membership includes a yearly fee of $15.
Paying this fee is the only requirement for becoming a local member. This money helps us pay for food
at meetings as well as supplies that we need throughout the year, such as food for when we volunteer
to cook a meal at the Ronald Mc Donald House. You must be a local member to attend volunteer events
and to receive the AED member discount on MCAT courses from Kaplan and The Princeton Review ($150 off).
Also, being a local member allows participation in other opportunities and events that are not available for non-members.
NATIONAL MEMBERSHIP
Please note that national membership fees have been changed from $50 to $75 as of March 1, 2009.
The national dues are completely separate from local dues. To become a national member
you must fill out the application and pay the one
time fee of $75. National dues are necessary if you want to legally put AED on your resume, and/or become an officer.
The requirements for national membership include an overall and science GPA of 3.2. along with the completion
of at least three semesters (five quarters) of pre-health education (transfer credits are acceptable, including those obtained through PSEO). You must also be in good standing
with your chapter and pay the national membership fee of $75. The national fee does not prevent you from
attending any of our meetings or participating in any local events; however, not paying the local fee
can prevent you from attending some of our special events such as volunteering.
***Please be sure to include unofficial transcripts from all college coursework when you turn in your national
application. Also, make sure to fill out everything on the application except for the initiation date and
adviser/secretary signatures.***
After the national membership application is finished, submit your completed application, fees and unofficial transcripts to your local AED Treasurer. The treasurer will ensure that your application is validated and receives the proper endorsements before being sent into the National AED Office. The application is not valid until it receives approval from the local chapter, so please do not submit your application to the national office.
