Give Your Students Roots

Help your students put down roots—provide them with membership in ASPB!

Have you thought about sponsoring your student’s or postdoc’s ASPB membership? If you submit their membership application with your membership fee (if you are not already current), you will get a 15% discount on the membership fee for each student you sponsor. All you have to do is submit this application.

Why provide ASPB membership to your student? Students are the future of plant biology; if we get them involved now, they are more likely to stay involved throughout their career.

Give Your Students Roots so they can grow to become an integral part of the plant biology community.

Membership Dues Discount for Scientists in Developing Nations

Over the years many from plant scientists from developing nations have told us that, much as they wish to join ASPB, there simply isn’t sufficient funding for them to do so. In an effort to redress this situation, a least a bit, beginning right now ASPB will start offering a member dues discount to scientists in certain developing countries. We will be using the World Bank Classification to determine the countries in which resident plant scientists will be eligible for these discounts.  LEARN MORE
