Student Membership Program
What is the Student Membership Program?
Food and Drug Law Institute’s Student Membership Program provides the space, connections, and resources needed to expand your knowledge and start a career in food and drug law.
From informal member exclusive events to custom student experiences during select conferences, the student program allows you to gain leadership experience, network, and learn from fellow FDLI members.
Benefits of Student Membership Program
Student Members can benefit from the following:
- Access to member exclusive FDLI events
- Networking opportunities with fellow students and experienced food and drug professionals
- Access to student specific events and activities
- Student discounts on FDLI events and materials
Eligibility
This program is limited to full-time students of accredited universities. Although you may apply at anytime throughout the year, memberships expire at the end of each academic year.
Already a student member?
Current Student Members can expect Student Membership Renewal emails around June/July each year. Student Membership subscriptions that are not renewed expire automatically on July 31. At that time, you must reapply to continue your Student Membership.
