AVS membership empowers students and early career professionals with the tools, connections, and opportunities needed to grow and succeed. From networking and mentorship to chapters, awards and travel grants, conferences, professional development, training, and career resources, AVS is here to help you build your future.

Specific to students, AVS Student Chapters engage students in science and technology fields relevant to AVS while providing opportunities to network with professors, industry leaders, and fellow students. Members gain valuable leadership experience, receive a one-year complementary AVS student membership, and benefit from funding opportunities such as start-up funds, membership rebates, and travel support to attend the AVS International Symposium.
