Before you choose

Frequently asked questions

What's the real difference between the three plans?

Duration and value. Annual covers one year of member discounts, posting privileges, and community access. 5-Year Professional locks in five years at a better effective rate. Lifetime Academic Fellowship never expires and includes Founding Fellow recognition for early members.

Can I upgrade later — say, from Annual to Lifetime?

Yes. You can upgrade from your Membership page while your current plan is active. Choose 5-Year Professional or Lifetime Academic Fellowship and complete checkout online.

What happens once the first 500 Founding Fellowships are gone?

Founding Fellow recognition is limited to the first 500 members. The Lifetime Fellowship remains open afterward at the same fee, without that recognition badge.

Why is faculty pricing higher than PhD scholar pricing?

Pricing reflects typical research funding access. Doctoral scholars pay a reduced rate across every tier.

Can I claim this as a reimbursement?

Yes. Every membership includes a tax invoice and an official membership certificate — suitable for institutional development or research funds, subject to your institution’s policy.

Do you offer memberships for entire departments or institutions?

These plans are for individual scholars and faculty. Institutions can explore our separate Institutional Partnership packages.
