Institutional Memberships
Institutional members appoint one member to the AISLS board of directors. Other faculty and administrators are entitled to be placed on the AISLS listserve, and graduate students from member institutions are eligible for AISLS student grants and services at the Colombo center that otherwise require individual membership. The cost is $250 annually. To join, please write John Rogers (rogersjohnd at aol.com) to request more information or an invoice.
Individual Memberships
Individual members of AISLS automatically join our closed listserv, which contains news relevant for researchers working on Sri Lanka. Members are also entitled to vote and run in elections for officer and board of directors positions. The annual dues are $40, with a concessionary rate of $15 for students, community college teachers, adjuncts/under-employed, and the unemployed. Retirees may pay either rate. AISLS uses the PayPal system for collecting dues online. To join or renew by mail, please print and fill out the membership form, and make your check out to “AISLS”.
The membership year is from 1 October to 30 September. Payments received after 1 August will be credited to the upcoming membership year.
MAKE A DONATION TO AISLS
Most AISLS income comes from grants from US government agencies and private foundations.
Funds raised from donations, while relatively modest, are especially important to AISLS because they allow us to support activities that fall outside the interests of our major donors. Donations are also important as expressions of support at a time when US government funds for international education are being reduced.
We offer donors two choices. They can designate their contribution to support conference travel grants and dissertation planning grants for graduate students who are not US citizens. Alternatively, donors can make an unrestricted contribution. These gifts provide AISLS with the means to maintain other programs not supported through our major grants. Donations may be made online with a credit card or by check.
