PsyAssoc

Are you a member of a psychological organization?  If not, then I recommend looking into a student membership with psychological organizations because they provide journals and email subscriptions with information on practice concerns, scholarship opportunities, study aids/tips, student liability coverage, and more.  I want to remind every student that organizations vary on the memberships benefits and required dues, which may change from the information listed below. 

Note: Some organizations offer liability insurance for Master's level students and thus higher fees.  See a particular organization for more details.

Here are some organizations to consider joining.  This is not an exhaustive list, but the list will get you started. Keep in mind that student membership fees are different from full member.  Choose student category to receive benefits designed for students.
