2018–2019 Chapter Affiliation

TSA offers three, curriculum-integrated membership programs.  Chapters choose the program that works best for them:

Red Chapter Affiliation Program (Red CAP)
A chapter affiliates up to 10 members by paying a flat fee (additional members may be added during the year for a fee). The membership fee for Red CAP is $100 at the national level, plus state dues.

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 $10 per member at the national level, plus state dues.

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 where students rotate through a STEM class for a portion of the year to enable all students to be members.  The membership fee for Blue CAP is $350 at the national level, plus state dues.

The chapter affiliation program you choose must be the same at the state and national level:  

  • Red CAP chapters become White CAP chapters automatically when they affiliate 11 or more members. 
  • Red CAP or White CAP chapters may convert to Blue CAP at any time. 
  • TSA operates under a unified dues policy, whereby members must affiliate and pay applicable dues at the local, state, and national level.

 Benefits of TSA affiliation:

  • Online access to TOTAL TSA and the competitive events guide
  • Opportunities to compete in local, state, and national TSA competitions
  • Leadership development through LEAP, TSA’s customized leadership program
  • Access to “School Scene” e-newsletters
  • Connection with other TSA members through Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram
  • MyTSA, a digital platform for chapter members to chronicle their TSA experiences
