Opportunities for Students

If you were a college member of the Public Relations Student Society of America (PRSSA), there's an added incentive to join PRSA.

PRSSA graduate students are eligible for an Associate membership, a two-year discounted dues rate. Applicants must be a PRSSA member at the time of graduation, and the application must be submitted within two years of graduation. Associate members may not hold certain elected or appointed positions within PRSA. The initiation fee is deferred for two years, or upon becoming a full member.

If you are interested in being a mentor for PRSSA chapter students at Southeast Missouri State, Southern Illinois University-Edwardsville, Southern Illinois University-Carbondale or Webster University contact mentoring@prsastlouis.org.

The respective schools were awarded $250 scholarships to help defray costs of students attending the 2006 National PRSSA conference in St. Lake City.
