New Professional Members

APA new professional members enjoy all the benefits of regular APA membership — and more — at a substantially lower cost. National dues are at least 35 percent less than regular member dues, and new professionals are eligible for reduced conference registration fees and the lowest rate for division dues and JAPA subscriptions.

New professional membership is a component of APA's five-year early career program. Two years of new professional membership automatically follow three years of student membership. Only renewing student members may become new professional members.
