The program was developed with professors who want to encourage professional identity and journal access for students in a national organization that embraces best practices and unwavering standards in excellent service for people with disabilities.

The package works like this:
Students receive substantially discounted rates. The discount amount increases as the number of students signing up increases. Students can pay rates as low as $35/year.

UP to 9 students: $45 per student (TASH’s lowest individual rate)
9 – 19 students: $40 per student (must be submitted together)
20+ students: $35 per student (must be submitted together)

When submitting membership applications, all students must fill out their own individual application (.pdf), then the student group contact must collect and submit all applications at the same time in order to qualify for student rates.

Under this plan, students receive all of the regular membership benefits during the coming year.

An introduction to TASH is likely to be one of the most valued resources you can offer students as they enter the disability community in their professional capacities.
