SHPE University of Portland does not require its student members to pay a fee to participate in the university student club. Any person is welcome, even if you do not identify as Hispanic. SHPE University of Portland empowers and advances the academic and professional success of students coming from all underrepresented and marginalized backgrounds.
However, many of our students members become paid SHPE members through the SHPE National organization because of the value of such membership. In fact, we encourage all our members to become paid SHPE members.
For only $10 per academic year (graduate students pay $15), a paid SHPE member receives:
- Access to more than $300,000 in scholarship offerings
- Internship, fellowship, and co-op opportunities
- Exclusive access to the SHPE Career Center
- Tips for resumé writing and interviewing
- Career and professional development
- Leadership training
- Discounted registration to national, regional, and local events
- Competition and award opportunities
- Access to a nationwide network of industry leaders and peers
If you cannot pay the $10, contact one of the SHPE University of Portland officers to receive a sponsorship through available club funds. We believe in access and opportunity for any person wanting to become part of something special as SHPE is to us.
