What is a Student Affiliate?

A student affiliate is a member of the national American Chemical Society who pays extremely reduced dues. Membership includes many benefits including a subscription to InChemistry (the ACS-SA national magazine), a six month subscription to C&E News, and access to information about careers and opportunities.  To join the natioanal ACS as an undergraduate Student Affliate, go to the following links for additional information and the online application (mail-in paper application available also).

Membership in the EIU chapter is separate from membership in the national organization.  Many members opt to become SA members of the national ACS, but the EIU chapter does not require national ACS-SA membership.
