No.
Participation levels are optional. You can remain a Basic (free) member indefinitely and still be a full Honor Society® member.
Many members never upgrade, while others choose to add a participation level when it aligns with their goals.
Do participation levels create membership?
No.
Participation levels:
Do not create membership
Do not replace Basic membership
Do not affect how long membership lasts
Membership exists independently of participation levels.
What happens if I choose a paid participation level?
If you choose a paid participation level:
You receive the additional tools, services, or benefits associated with that level
Your participation level remains active for the duration of the billing period
Participation levels can be changed, upgraded, downgraded, or canceled at any time.
What happens if I cancel a participation level?
If you cancel or downgrade a paid participation level:
Paid benefits continue through the end of the billing period
Your account returns to Basic (free) membership
Your Honor Society membership remains active
Canceling a participation level does not cancel membership.
Do participation levels affect scholarships or eligibility?
Participation levels do not determine membership status.
Eligibility for specific programs or scholarships is based on the individual program’s criteria, which are always stated separately. Participation levels do not guarantee selection or awards.
Why does Honor Society use participation levels?
Honor Society uses participation levels to give members choice and flexibility.
This approach allows members to:
Join for free without financial pressure
Decide later whether optional enhancements are useful
Participate at the level that fits their goals and circumstances
