September 2023

ÐÜèÊÓÆµhas opened enrollment for the 2024 Doctoral Cohort Membership Program. The program offers institutions a unique opportunity to partner with ÐÜèÊÓÆµto offer doctoral students joining ÐÜèÊÓÆµfor the first-time access to ÐÜèÊÓÆµmembership at a substantially reduced dues rate.

The Cohort Program allows participating graduate institutions from around the globe to offer special introductory membership pricing.  For each student who joins ÐÜèÊÓÆµas part of the program, ÐÜèÊÓÆµcontributes $25 and the participating institution contributes $25, reducing the student dues rate to $25.  The regular graduate student membership rate for 2024 is $75.

“We are pleased to again offer this important opportunity for graduate students to join the broader scholarly community, begin to build their research networks, and take advantage of the full array of ÐÜèÊÓÆµresources,” said ÐÜèÊÓÆµExecutive Director Felice J. Levine. “For more than a decade, the program has helped to foster the aspirations of researchers at the starting point of their careers.”

Among the benefits for program participants are free membership in an ÐÜèÊÓÆµdivision, complimentary digital access to all seven ÐÜèÊÓÆµjournals, attendance to the 2024 ÐÜèÊÓÆµAnnual Meeting at the discounted student member registration fee, and more. A central value in connecting with the dynamic graduate student community within AERA. A population that makes up more than one third of ÐÜèÊÓÆµmembership.

Faculty members and graduate students who would like to see their department or school participate in the program are encouraged to reach out to their dean or graduate director. To ensure a vibrant program, ÐÜèÊÓÆµasks that the school or department actively promote the program and recruit the entire first-year doctoral student cohort to join.

If a school or department is interested in the program, please contact members@aera.net or call (202) 238-3200. Visit the program webpage for more information.

The ÐÜèÊÓÆµDoctoral Cohort Program is open to any graduate institution or program. Institutions have until March 2024 to sign up for the 2024 membership year. Only students who have not previously been a member of ÐÜèÊÓÆµare eligible to take part.

Since the program’s founding in 2016, nearly 5,000 students have made their first connection with ÐÜèÊÓÆµthrough the cohort membership program.
