APS will introduce new flexible membership plan options to give the physics community access to APS benefits and resources that best fits their needs — including more affordable choices. The plans will continue to connect members to APS units and core benefits.

If you’re a current member, nothing will change right away. You’ll receive all of your current benefits until it’s time to renew — then you can decide how to continue.

New membership plans launch this summer.

Details coming soon.

Membership auto-pay and mobile pay make renewal simple.

When you opt in to auto-pay, your preferred payment method is charged automatically each year with no interruptions to your benefits. 

Auto-pay and mobile payments launch this spring.

Watch for emails from APS with instructions to opt in.

APS is expanding membership price accessibility for scientists living in lower-income and lower-middle-income countries, with discounts of up to 70-90% of membership dues.

This initiative helps remove financial barriers to:

• Community participation
• Publications and resources
• Professional connection and visibility

These discounts complement APS meeting registration price accessibility and participation in Research4Life journal initiatives, reflecting APS’ commitment to a more inclusive global physics community.

Membership price accessibility launches this spring.

Spread the word.
