Introducing the TMS Graduate Student Membership Program

A new program is now available to meet the needs of graduate students in materials-related disciplines, providing support as they transition from undergraduates to full-fledged professionals. Applications are now being accepted for the TMS Graduate Student Membership Program. Through this new program, students will be able to: 

• Build Resumes: Participate actively in TMS, connect with leaders in specific technology areas, and take on volunteer roles through TMS technical committee membership.
• Access Mentors: Receive one-on-one guidance and assistance in navigating careers and volunteer work effectively.
• Contribute Ideas: Sit on the Graduate Student Advisory Council and share insights with TMS leadership.

Access to member benefits will begin once the application is processed and approved. A one-time membership fee of $75 ensures membership in the program for the duration of the student’s studies (up to six years). Please note that joining the TMS Graduate Student Program will not affect a student's Material Advantage membership. Graduate students may hold membership in both programs. If you work with graduate students, share this flyer to let them know about this important professional opportunity.
