Would you be interested in being a national member of the AIAA (dues apply) or a chapter member (no dues)? *
The AIAA charges a $30/year student membership due for national members. Enrolling as a national member is required for members who plan to go to conferences (gives us $100+ off registration fees per person) and for those applying to AIAA scholarships. Besides those two items, there is no difference between national and chapter members at this moment.
