The YOUNG IFCM Committee proposed the creation of a new student membership category to the IFCM Committee responsible for membership. The proposal was examined carefully, and an appropriate amount for this new category was discussed and approved by the IFCM board. IFCM hopes that this new fee will increase membership accessibility for the younger generation.
The Membership Committee suggested an amount equal to a third of the current individual membership fee: 25 USD or 23 Euros for HDI1, 20 USD or 18 Euros for HDI2 and 12 USD or 11 Euros for HDI3. The IFCM Board approved these amounts.
To be eligible, new members in this category will have to submit proof of enrolment at a school (communication in English, if possible) or a photo of an ID document proving that they are under the age of 25.
The 'Student and Under-25 Membership Fee' will be introduced in June 2025. Members in this category will enjoy the same benefits as those paying the standard individual membership fee. However, they will not be eligible to vote until this new category is approved by the next IFCM General Assembly (see IFCM Bylaws, point 2.1).
