ASHA's Gift to the Grad (GTTG) Program
May 1–August 31, 2011

Valuable Information for 2010 and 2011 Master's and Doctoral Grads 

The GTTG is a special benefit for recent graduates to help you prepare for your career and ease the financial burden that young professionals experience. When you join ASHA between May 1 and August 31, 2011,* you'll receive membership and certification through December 31, 2012—which means you'll receive up to 20 months of membership for the price of 12. That's over and above the discounted dues we offer you...a potential savings of $450.

The program is available to current graduates and recent graduates. Who's eligible to take advantage?

*The ASHA Membership and Certification application must be received at ASHA by August 31, 2011 in order to be eligible for the Gift to the Grad program.
