The YEA Institute Smart Start Program Simply put, it’s the best way for ASHRAE student members to continue receiving the many member benefits of ASHRAE after finishing college. The first year out of college annual membership is still only $20. Then it is only $73 for the second year and $94 for the third year. You save up to $410 and get three years of membership for $187. ($20-$73-$94) When you transfer from Student Membership to Associate membership, you gain access to all essential ASHRAE member benefits.
