It is not, however, required that the Fellow or Ordinary Member proposing the application know the candidate personally.

If you are unable to find an Ordinary Member or Fellow to propose your application, the Membership Committee Chair will take responsibility for doing so upon receipt of your application.

To be eligible, you'll be required to provide enrollment letters or other evidence that proves that you are a full-time student.
