Hi Everyone--it is that time of year when you can apply for memberships. 
 I'll paste the guidelines for several below but FYI--here is what you 
can look for:

        *Free AOU membership for 3 years if you are a student and have 
not been a previous member of AOU (I believe you can still apply for AOU).

        *Free COS membership for 2 years

        *$10 will get you a student membership for SCB

        *$18 will get you a student membership in the Neotropical Orn. 
Society.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    * FREE two-year membership awards for qualifying students: The
      Cooper Ornithological Society is always interested in getting more
      graduate students involved and provides free student memberships
      each year. These student awards cover costs of membership for 2
      years and carry full membership benefits, providing an important
      launch into ornithological careers at an early stage. To apply,
      simply send a CV of the student and a cover letter from the major
      professor that describes why the student deserves the award.
      Deadline for receipt of applications is 15 Mar 2005. Send
      application materials by e-mail or post to:

SHELDON J. COOPER
Department of Biology & Microbiology
800 Algoma Blvd.
University of Wisconsin Oshkosh
Oshkosh , WI 54901-8640

*Student Membership Award*
*Applications for AOU Student Membership Awards for 2007 are now being 
accepted!*

The Council of the American Ornithologists' Union has voted to provide 
one-year student membership awards to qualified undergraduate or 
graduate students interested in pursuing a career in ornithology. To 
qualify, students must:
1.        Have no current or prior membership in the AOU
2.        Provide a resume or curriculum vitae describing the current 
degree program, the expected date of completion and the candidate's 
academic and/or work experience, and interests in ornithology.
3.        Provide a brief letter of sponsorship from an academic advisor 
on letterhead from the institution in which the student is currently 
enrolled.

Membership awards will provide full membership in the AOU (including 
subscription to /The Auk/ and /Ornithological Monographs/). They are not 
renewable, but recipients can continue to be AOU members at the reduced 
student rate for four additional years, as long as they retain student 
or post-doctoral status.

Although students may send materials at any time during the academic 
year, they are encouraged to send them prior to 1 January 2007 to 
receive their first issues of the publications in January. The AOU 
reserves the right to limit the number of grants provided during one 
academic year to 200.

Mail or e-mail materials together to:

Dr. Daniel Mennill, AOU Student Membership Awards Committee, Department 
of Biological Sciences, University of Windsor, Windsor, ON N9B3P4, 
Canada. Email: _membershipawards at aou.org_ 
<mailto:membershipawards at aou.org> - Please use subject heading "AOU 
Student Membership Award" if submitting by email.
