The NSTA Industry Associate Program is designed to provide companies and organizations with a variety of tools and resources including:

• Learning opportunities
• Timely industry information and trends
• Increased visibility within the science education community

How is this different from a regular membership?

• NSTA's Individual memberships are designed specifically with educators in mind. 
• NSTA's Industry Associate Program (IAP)
• Developed exclusively for companies and organizations serving the science and STEM education market. 
• The IAP includes a wealth of unique opportunities for visibility, learning, and monetary savings throughout the year.

What level of the Industry Associate Program is appropriate for my organization?

The Standard IAP is for organizations seeking to receive additional information, support, and access to NSTA created resources and industry data. The Upgraded IAP includes these resources plus additional in-depth learning opportunities, discounts, and heightened visibility with NSTA's audience.

I have multiple staff at my organization interested in utilizing the benefits of the IAP.  Do I need to purchase one for each person?

When registering for your IAP, please select a Key Contact who will be the point person for receiving the resources on behalf of your organization. The resources may be freely shared within your organization.

How long does the Industry Associate Program last before I need to renew?
