Each chapter is entitled to award a one-year student membership in the American Political Science Association (APSA) to one outstanding student each year. Chapters need only identify the student to the National Office for the membership to be instated.

The American Political Science Association is the leading professional organization for the study of political science and serves more than 15,000 members in over 80 countries. With a range of programs and services for individuals, departments and institutions, APSA brings together political scientists from all fields of inquiry, regions, and occupational endeavors within and outside academe in order to expand awareness and understanding of politics.   Membership in APSA provides significant benefits and networking opportunities for its student members.
