How to Join APA
Student affiliates get many benefits of full membership, including the Monitor on Psychology, American Psychologist and gradPSYCH — the magazine for graduate students, special services, and substantial discounts on APA products, including APA's premiere line of electronic databases. There are two ways students can join APA:
Student affiliate: Graduate and undergraduate students can become Student Affiliates of APA. Graduate students also receive membership in APAGS, the national organization representing graduate students in psychology.
High school student affiliate. As a high school student affiliate, you can find out what it's like to be a psychologist, read about psychology in the APA's monthly magazine, and find ways to get involved.
And there's no special requirement to join. If you're a student studying psychology and want to join, you're in! So discover the benefits of being part of the premier organization in psychology.
APAGS: The voice of student concerns within APA
APAGS offers its members enormous opportunities to enhance their development toward a career in psychology and to shape the future of the discipline.
