Membership Rates
Beginning on November 7th, 2023, we implemented a slight modification to our membership fee structure. This adjustment introduced a new membership category referred to as the “Low GDP Membership,” wherein all membership rates falling under this category are reduced by half. We are thrilled to offer this new category and provide more equitable access to members. Rates are based on the World Bank’s low-income category.
| Individual Member | $100 |
| Student Member | $50 |
| Emeritus Member | $50 |
| Honorary Fellow Member | $50 |
| Low GDP Individual Member | $50 |
| Low GDP Student Member | $25 |
ELIGIBILITY FOR MEMBERSHIP
The different membership categories and rates are defined by the CIES Bylaws.
Individual membership is available anyone interested in the field of Comparative and International Education
Student membership is available to anyone enrolled in an institution of education and not working in full time employment.
Emeritus membership is available to anyone who meets all three of the following requirements:
- Aged 65 or older, and

Special Interest Group (SIG) membership is open to any current member interested in the topic or region represented by the SIG. You must be an active CIES member to join a SIG and can join at anytime during the year. There are 35 different SIGs to choose from and dues are $10 per SIG. SIG membership is non-transferrable.
To join a SIG, you can either:

Advocacy Committees membership is open to any current member and is a benefit of the CIES membership. There are four advocacy committees representing gender and education, under-represented groups, new scholars, and social and policy engagement.
Membership Year
Memberships are based on a calendar year (January 1 ending December 31). Multi-year memberships are available up to 3 years. New or renewing members joining between October 15 – December 31 pay the full annual rate which then covers the following year through December 31.
