Hey Peter,
Students would need to register as a Student Member of the MBAA ($45/year). Registration details can be found here: https://www.mbaa.com/membership/Pages/default.aspx
As an MBAA member, they would have the option to join one or multiple districts. Each district has their own district dues. Some districts had decided to waive these dues or have reduced rates for Students. You can see a list of each district's dues on the page linked above. It appears Western Canada has these at $0 for students. Keep in mind District Officers can determine to change these at the start of each year.
Let me know if you have any further questions!

Hey Rachel...I teach in a brewing program here at Olds College, Alberta and frequently advocate membership in the MBAA to my students. That said...is that a typo on the Member Application sheet? $0 for a student to join as a Western Region member? That's just plain wacky if it's true! I've already sent the email out to current students...Peter.

Hello District Western Canada!<o:p></o:p><o:p> </o:p>
If you have gotten a chance to read this month's Communicator, you're aware of the new membership contest starting September 1st! I have highlighted key points below, but please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions. We can't wait to see who the first winners will be!<o:p></o:p>
- DISTRICT CONTEST<o:p></o:p>
- Each month, the district with the largest percent increase in membership will be featured on the home page of the MBAA website! September's winner will be announced at the beginning of October and featured all month long. This will run until the end of the year, so there are 4 months to win!<o:p></o:p>
- Consistently growing membership during this time but not quite hitting the number one spot? Keep it up! The district at the end of the year with the largest percent increase in membership over the 4 month period, will win $500 to be used for speaker travel for a district meeting.<o:p></o:p>
- INDIVIDUAL MEMBER CONTEST<o:p></o:p>
- Each month an individual winner will be announced. This winner does not need to be a member of the winning District. <o:p></o:p>
- Every time you refer a new member you will be entered into a drawing for the monthly prize (be sure they are entering your name as the referring member when they sign up or there is no way to track this for the contest!)<o:p></o:p>
- Refer 1 member, and you are entered into the drawing. Refer 3 members, and you're entered into the drawing 3 times and so on! There is no limit to the amount of entries you can have.<o:p></o:p>
- Monthly prize includes MBAA swag and a $25 Visa gift card!<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
Good luck to everyone!<o:p></o:p>

Cheers,<o:p></o:p>
