Does membership end if I stop paying?

No. Your Honor Society® membership does not end if you stop paying.

Honor Society® membership is free. If you stop paying for a paid participation level, your membership continues without interruption.

Definition

Membership and payment are separate.
Paid participation levels add optional benefits for a billing period, but they do not create membership and do not determine whether membership remains active.

What happens if I stop paying for a participation level?

If you stop paying for a paid participation level (such as Bronze, Silver, Gold, or Signature):

Paid benefits end at the conclusion of the billing period
Your account returns to free Basic membership
Your Honor Society® membership remains active

Stopping payment does not cancel membership.

Does my membership expire if I stop paying?

No.

Membership:

Does not expire
Does not require payment to remain active
Continues even if no paid participation level is selected

You remain an Honor Society® member after payment ends.

Do I lose access to Honor Society if I stop paying?

No.

After payment ends, you continue to have:

Recognition as an Honor Society® member
Access to communications and opportunities available to free Basic members

Only the optional paid benefits associated with the participation level end.

Can I start paying again later?

Yes.

Members may choose to add or re-add a paid participation level at any time. Many members do so later when it aligns with milestones such as applying for scholarships, preparing for graduation, or updating resumes or professional profiles.

Restarting a paid participation level later is normal and expected.

Why doesn’t stopping payment end membership?

Honor Society is designed to be membership-first and inclusive.

This means:

Membership is free and ongoing
Paid participation levels are optional
Members keep their membership regardless of payment decisions
