Student Dues
If you are currently enrolled fulltime (courses and/or research),
you can apply for membership at 1/3 the price of regular membership.
See enrollment information for
an application. Recent graduates, not yet employed, may also
qualify for this special membership rate. Student Registration fees
Again, if you are currently fulltime, you can register for the
MRS Spring and Fall Meetings at a substantial
savings. We will be happy to send you a program and registration
form. Send your request to info@mrs.org. University Chapters
MRS University Chapters have special
benefits that help you expand the value of your MRS membership.
Travel reimbursement for attending MRS meetings, networking at
the local level, and access to the MRS video library are among
the opportunities when you join or start a chapter. Graduate Student Awards
At each MRS Spring and Fall Meeting, finalists for the Graduate
Student Awards present their research within appropriate
MRS symposia. You can apply at the time you send in your meeting
abstract (there is a place on the template form for this). Finalists
receive a waiver of their registration fee at the MRS meeting,
plus membership in MRS.
For information on Graduate Student Awards, contact info@mrs.org.

are assigned on a first come, first serve basis. For more information,
please contact Jane Stokes at 724 779-3004 x302 or via email

MRS Meetings are important for building your professional network.
MRS sponsors a Student Mixer at each MRS Meeting, usually Monday
or Tuesday evening. It is a great time to unwind a little with
other students and faculty from around the world. We also invite
employers to this event. Career Services
MRS offers a Job Placement
service at each Spring and Fall Meeting.
There is NO CHARGE to you if your membership is current. For
information about the next event, ask us for information.
Current MRS Members also are entitled to place a "Position
Wanted" advertisement in the MRS Bulletin -- at no charge.
The ad, which will appear in the classified section, can be up
to 50 words. Click here for more information.
