Smart Start Program
Simply put, it’s the best way for ASHRAE student members to continue
receiving the many member benefits of ASHRAE after finishing college.
– The first year out of college annual membership is still only $20.
– Then it is only $73 for the second year and $94 for the third year.
– You save up to $410 and get three years of membership for $187. ($20-$73-$94)
When you transfer from Student Membership to Associate membership,
you gain access to all essential ASHRAE member benefits.
