You are eligible for a free student membership if you attend a SIAM academic member institution, belong to a SIAM student chapter, or if a regular member in good standing nominates you. If you meet one of these criteria, you must have a current education record in your online account to qualify.

1. To check or add this information, log in, roll over “My Account” at the top of the page and select “Employment, Education and Interests.”
2. If the education record is not current, click on “Add Education” and complete all information requested.
   1. To ensure that you will qualify for a free student membership, when filling in the name of the Institution in your education record, be sure to select a name from the drop-down box rather than typing in the name. You will know that you have selected the name from the drop-down box if it appears in all caps. If the name of the institution includes lower case letters, go back and select the name from the drop-down box.
   2. If you already have an education record, confirm that the entry for “Institution Name” is in all caps. If it is not, click on “edit”, and select the name of your institution from the drop down box.
