Invest in Your Future
Don’t just study audiology.
Discover your community.
Define your purpose.
National SAA membership is $70 a year — career resources, mentorship, conference access, and a growing set of member programs built for exactly where you are in the pipeline, from first semester to first job. The national SAA is your first step toward a bright and fulfilling future.
"National SAA offers a space for a collective of students and emerging professionals to lay the foundation for future initiatives in audiology. Aspiring one another to become leaders, advocates, and better clinicians alike."
Hector Sanchez
SAA President 2025-2026
Member Programs
Beyond the standard benefits, these are the programs worth building into your renewal decision this year.
New Professional Pathway Program
Graduating soon? When you earn your first doctoral degree in audiology, your student membership will automatically switch to new professional membership for the upcoming year—no extra steps needed!
Plus, new professional members get discounted dues for up to three years after graduation.
Renew & Study Smarter
From September 1–December 31, 2026, eligible students who renew their annual membership for 2027—or join or rejoin for the full 2027 membership year—will receive a complimentary one-year Quizlet subscription.
It's available to the first 1,300 eligible students.
Gift an Academy Membership
Give a student or new professional the gift of membership — community, mentorship, convention discounts, eAudiology, and career-stage resources included.
There are two gift tiers — student and new professional — so you can match the gift to where they are in their journey.
Member Referral Program
Invite your peers to join or rejoin the membership. Refer five colleagues to the Academy and your 2027 renewal is free. Fewer referrals earn a discount, so every colleague counts.
Referred members must enter the code MGAM2026 at checkout to receive credit.

Membership runs the calendar year. Join anytime, and pay annually or monthly — whichever fits your budget.
