  • New Membership System

    The Society for Financial Studies is pleased to launch our new membership system. Members will be able to purchase 1-year memberships, 3-year memberships, or student memberships. Our submission systems will automatically recognize memberships and remind you when you need to renew.

    The new system was not able to move current memberships over, which means all accounts are starting from scratch. We apologize for the inconvenience! If you purchased a membership recently, you may contact us for help.
