ISSX encourages students to join the Society in the earliest stages of their training. There are a number of benefits available to students to help make the membership affordable and rewarding:

• ISSX sponsors Regional New Investigator awards at our major meetings. Details of these awards and a listing of recent awardees are provided on the web site.

• For those students who are unable to afford membership with ISSX or are unable to attend our scientific meetings due to financial hardship ISSX has a program whereby one may apply for financial support.
   
• Our Career Center resource is a great tool for students and postdocs to find employment opportunities across the globe.
   
• The Student/Postdoctoral Networking Forum enables our younger members to collaborate and share information.
     
• Invitations to Student/Postdoctoral networking events held in conjunction with ISSX meetings.
