Member Sponsorship Program

ISSTD is happy to introduce our member sponsorship program which allows ISSTD members and supporters to sponsor the membership of an individual or individuals who lack the financial resources to join or renew. By sponsoring a member, you are actively contributing to their professional development and success.

Sponsorship also helps in cultivating a strong sense of international camaraderie and community within the Society. When members support and uplift each other, it creates a community that fosters collaboration, knowledge sharing, and collective advancement.

Information for Sponsees

For those wishing to be sponsored, applications are accepted on a rolling basis. Sponsorship allows you to receive all the benefits of being a member at a fraction of the price. Those who are sponsored will be eligible for a sliding scale payment on membership for the first three years following the sponsored year.

First Year After Sponsorship: 25% of membership fee based on career stage and location
Second Year After Sponsorship: 50% of membership fee based on career stage and location
Third Year After Sponsorship: 75% of membership fee based on career stage and location
