In the early stages of our rollout of MiS Next, we have met a number of students who want to join MiS but aren't able to make a financial commitment. We'd like to offer MiS members the opportunity to pay it forward by sponsoring a student's MiS Next membership. Membership for the year is $75. Should you decide to Pay It Forward, we will also credit you $75 toward any future MiS events or associated activities.
