Discounts, Waivers and Subsidy

As authorized by Article XI of the Bylaws or by action of the Board of Directors, waiver of dues/fees is allowed for the amount in excess of 10 percent of base FSA or ASA dues under certain conditions. All members receiving a waiver will be assessed 10 percent of base FSA, applicable ASA dues or CERA fees. 

All waiver requests require an annual attestation and are based on status as of Jan 1.  Waiver requests will be reviewed and approved by the Admissions Committee Chair. 

Waivers for attainment of age 70 are awarded automatically based on age. 

For the year 2026, the SOA will continue to offer consideration for dues assistance to members residing in countries that have a per capita income equal to or less than one-third the average of the United States and Canada, as reported by the World Bank. The amount of the individual subsidy will be determined by the SOA, based on the information provided once the application is approved. The application process requires the member’s personal statement as to his/her income level.
