TSHA Student Membership

Being a student member of TSHA opens doors to relationships, Clinical Fellowship (CF) and career opportunities, and experiences that will change your trajectory as a future speech-language pathologist or audiologist. Our mission statement is to, “Empower members to provide the highest quality, life-changing care for individuals with communication and related disorders.” For students, this means empowering them through TSHA beginning during their education. Students also receive special student-only membership benefits.

Student membership is only $35 per year, and student member Convention registration is only $60! Potential members in or during their Clinical Fellowship Year (CFY) who were not student members of TSHA will receive a 25% active membership discount on their dues with documentation from the CF Supervisor stating that they are supervising the CFY. Students who have been members of the Association for 1 year will receive a 25% discount on their first year professional member dues. Students who have been members for 2 years will receive a FREE membership on their first year professional member dues.
