The Undergraduate Cohort Program provides Department Services Program (DSP) partners the opportunity to gift their class of undergraduates a complimentary one-year AAA + NASA section membership and AAA Annual Meeting registration. Membership codes can be requested at any time by contacting us with your request. Annual Meeting codes can be requested closer to the Annual Meeting. The amount of undergraduate students who can utilize the code is unlimited and up to the DSP chair's discretion for dispersal. This is of no additional cost to DSP partners. Participating DSP partners are noted by a DSP badge in their respective listing in the AnthroGuide. Graduate students are ineligible for this program, but may be eligible for free membership under the DSP New and Recent Graduate program.
