Am I Eligible for Recent Graduate Membership?

To be eligible for a Recent Graduate membership, you must have graduated from a recognized university with your terminal degree (baccalaureate degree or higher) in materials science, materials engineering, metallurgy, metallurgical engineering, or another science or engineering discipline related to the field within three years of the date of applying for membership. If applying within one year of your graduation date, membership dues are $0. If applying within 2 or 3 years of your graduation date, membership dues are reduced by 50%. The complimentary recent graduate membership can only be used once and is intended for those who are graduating with a terminal degree. 

Please note that if you are continuing your education at the graduate or Ph.D. level, you should apply for membership in the TMS Graduate Student Program, which provides access to professional-level benefits for a discounted, one-time membership fee. You are also eligible for the Material Advantage Program, which serves both undergraduate and graduate students and provides access to student benefits from four partnering societies.
