The application link will walk you through all the key steps, but there are a couple of things to note. If you wish to submit your application, you will need to write a brief reflection statement, upload a copy of your resumé, and discuss how you participated in the German-speaking community during your studies.

Once your application has been reviewed and accepted, your financial obligations are $35 for chapter fees and a lifetime membership.
