​​INSTITUTIONALLY FUNDED MEMBERSHIP

Institutionally funded memberships are paid by the institution/organization and cannot be transferred to another institution/organization. The membership is transferrable to another individual employed at the institution/organization that funded the membership.
​
*Note: Each individual must hold a membership to access member benefits. An institutionally funded membership is not a multi-staff membership. 

​INDIVIDUALLY FUNDED MEMBERSHIP

​Individually Funded Memberships are paid by the individual member and transferrable to any institution or organization.
This membership remains active throughout the member term regardless of where the member is employed. 

If a transfer is needed for an individually funded membership, please send your updated details to [email protected].

IMPORTANT: These are not membership types, the categories distinguish the financial ownership of the membership. Currently only one membership type is offered.

Partial Funding

​​AIEA will provide partial funding (50% of the member cost) upon request to members in the following situations:

• Community colleges, HBCUs, or other MSIs. The member’s current institution must be listed as a community college, historically black college or Minority Serving Institution according to the Carnegie Classification. This is also provided to members employed by institutions outside the U.S. equivalent to the categories above. The categories are based on information about the institutions, such as types of degrees conferred, academic disciplines offered, and specialization.  
• Members currently residing in countries defined as low-income or lower-middle-income economies as defined by The World Bank Group
• Retired AIEA members: Must have been an AIEA member for at least 3 years prior to retirement and are not currently earning an income in international education (including consulting).
• First-time members, nominated by existing members as part of the Leader + 1 Campaign: You cannot have held an AIEA membership in the past, regardless of institution or position changes.
