Graduate Student Affiliate and Undergraduate Student Affiliate membership is open to anyone who is currently enrolled in a degree program in psychology (or a related field) at an accredited institution. Student affiliates receive the same benefits of membership as regular members, including:
Access to the Latest Research
APS publications are among the leading resources for information in the field of psychology. You will receive annual subscriptions to three APS journals free with your membership. Members may also view in-press, current, and archived journals articles online.

In addition to these highly regarded journals, you will also receive the Observer, our monthly news publication. The Observer keeps you up to date on current events in psychology, provides job listings, and more.
A Meeting of the Minds
Student affiliates also receive a substantial discount on registration rates for the APS Annual Convention. The convention is a great opportunity to network, present your research, and meet peers and distinguished researchers in a casual environment.

Award and Grant Opportunities
The APS Student Caucus offers several competitive awards to APS student affiliates, like the Student Research Competition, Travel Awards, and the Research on Socially and Economically Underrepresented Populations (RiSE-UP) Award. The Student Grant Program provides cash awards of $250 each, and undergraduate awards of $100 each, to be applied toward the purchase of research materials prior to data collection.
APS Student Caucus (APSSC)
The APSSC is a great way for students to become actively involved in the advancement of psychological as a science.
