Members From Developing Countries
To support members residing in resource-restricted areas and to encourage international participation in the Society and its programs, SfN offers reduced membership dues to residents of developing countries.
SfN determines reduced dues eligibility using the World Bank's country classifications. SfN updates the list of eligible countries annually in the fall prior to billing for the upcoming year's dues. Reductions and categories are based on a member's work and residence addresses. Members that work or reside outside of these geographical lociations are required to pay full membership dues.
