Join Now

The AAUW Tar Heel branch formed in the fall of 2008 to provide the benefits of an AAUW community to those in North Carolina who wanted more than an at-large membership in the national organization, but did not choose to join any of the community-based branches. (If you haven’t yet explored the community-based branch option, please use the branch information at aauwnc.org to learn about NC branches.)

In addition to the national benefits, branch membership includes:

• Access to advocacy information about what’s going on in Raleigh, not just DC
• Opportunity to support AAUW NC mini-grants and to apply for those grants
• Opportunity to support AAUW NC’s coalition partners
• All AAUW NC publications
• Information from nearby community-based branches on special events and projects
• Connection to members interested in gender equity from across the state.

AAUW annual dues are $72, AAUW NC dues are $11.00, and the Tar Heel Branch dues are $5.00 ($88 total). The legacy branch dues year is July 1 to June 30, and we are now collecting dues for 2023-2024, but if you join later in the year, your membership will run for twelve months.

If $88 is a barrier, contact treasurer@tarheel.aauwnc.org to ask about our discount program.

If you are ready to join, please complete this two-step online process:

STEP 1: Complete the online information form.

STEP 2: The branch charges $0 for

• current student associates and all undergraduates at AAUW college/university member institutions (who are eligible to become eStudent Affiliates)
• official representatives of AAUW college/university member institutions in NC, and
• 50-year (honorary life) members of AAUW

Please write treasurer@tarheel.aauwnc.org to confirm that we received the information from the form and are processing your membership in the branch.

IF $0 DOES NOT APPLY TO YOU

If you are NOT currently an AAUW member, please use the national AAUW’s website to join.  Choose one of the following links to get started:

• Create a New Account at AAUW.org, or
• Login to an existing account

Continue through the AAUW process to set up an account and select the branch (NC3060-Tar Heel) and state (NC) as options. You will be asked to enter information on a degree – if you have difficulty finding your institution, you may search for “AAUW” and choose “AAUW-other” to get past that step.

If you already belong to AAUW, we’ll have to send you an invoice — you CANNOT use the aauw.org system to add a branch to your membership. Please write treasurer@tarheel.aauwnc.org and include:

• Your name and member ID (if available)
• The name and state for your primary branch (if you are a member of any branches)
• If your primary branch is not in NC, whether you are a member of another branch in NC

As a member, you should be able to login to my.aauw.org and find your member ID and primary branch, if any. If you have not joined any branch, please note that you are an “at-large” member. We will get other information from the form you filled out in STEP 1.
