MEMBERSHIP

Membership is accomplished through the National TSA website.  All monies are paid directly to them.  Please, do not send your checks to this office nor make your checks payable to Alabama TSA.  Dues are $8 for state and $12 for national for a total of $20 per member for Red or White CAP membership.  Blue CAP membership is $250 for state and $400 for National for a total of $650 per chapter.

THE CHAMPION FUND

When payment for TSA membership poses a challenge, the Champion
Fund may provide an opportunity to bring TSA to middle schools and
high schools. Through the Champion Fund, Red CAP membership costs
(up to 10 members and one advisor) for approved schools are covered
for one school year. Newly affiliated chapters can discover all that TSA
membership has to offer, including a wide range of challenging STEMrelated competitions, as well as education, leadership, and career
resources.

A school may be eligible if the school:
     1.  has never had a TSA chapter and there is no school or community financial support available to pay membership costs
     2.  has not had a TSA chapter for at least three years and there is no school or community financial support available to pay membership costs
     3.  has had a TSA chapter within the last three years, but currently is experiencing economic hardship because of a disaster.

Submitted applications are reviewed by a committee to determine eligibility and are processed on a first-come,
first-served basis depending upon available funding. All applications require a principal’s signature. Schools that
receive financial support from the TSA Champion Fund are kept anonymous.
