We are pleased to offer six Associate Membership subcategories for organizations and individuals not affiliated with a postsecondary financial aid office. 

An Associate Membership gives your organization access to exclusive opportunities like inclusion in our Buyer's Guide, discount pricing on certain sponsorships and conference participation, the ability to sponsor or host webinars, and more! 

To join NASFAA, please review the descriptions of each subcategory, then choose the corresponding membership application form from that page. You can also download a one-page Associate Member Dues Summary.
