START A TSA CHAPTER

Membership in TSA covers each school year.  TSA membership begins when a chapter completes affiliation and ends at the conclusion of the national TSA conference. 

TSA offers three curriculum-integrated membership programs. Chapters choose the program that works best for them (note that each affiliation type also requires a $10 advisor fee that is not included in the fees shown below):  

1. Red Chapter Affiliation Program (Red CAP) 
   A chapter affiliates up to 10 members and a Chapter Advisor by paying a flat fee (members may be added during the year for an additional fee). The membership fee for Red CAP is $120 at the national level, plus state dues.
2. White Chapter Affiliation Program (White CAP) 
   A chapter affiliates 11 or more members by paying a per member fee for state and national dues. The membership fee for White CAP is $12 per member at the national level, plus state dues. 
3. Blue Chapter Affiliation Program (Blue CAP) 
   A chapter affiliates an unlimited number of members in a school for a flat fee. This option is popular among chapters in which students rotate through a STEM class for a portion of the year because it enables all students to be members. The membership fee for Blue CAP is $400 at the national level, plus state dues.
