Dues Renewal
2025 Dues Renewal Rates

In order to remain in good standing as a Fellow of the American Academy of Nursing (FAAN), you must be current on dues. Dues must be paid annually by January 31. A two-month grace period is extended and a late fee is assessed beginning on April 1.

  • The 2025 Regular Fellows dues rate is $605

  • The 2025 Emeritus Fellows dues rate is $205

    • To qualify for Emeritus dues rates, you must be retired from full-time employment and have reached the age of 70 years old. Additional information is provided in the FAQ section below.

The deadline to submit your dues and complete your renewal is January 31, 2025. Dues must be paid in order to sponsor an applicant for Fellowship and to maintain your FAAN credential. The 2025 Fellowship Application will open on January 7. We recommend that if you do plan to sponsor a candidate, you pay your dues by December 31, 2024 to ensure they are processed in time for the 2025 Fellowship Application cycle launch.

By submitting your payment and renewing your membership in the Fellowship, you are agreeing that you have reviewed and will adhere to the Academy's Ethics Policy and Code of Conduct.

New for 2025

New this year, in response to feedback from the Fellowship, the Academy is offering the option to pay your Fellowship dues in two installments. You are able to select to pay your full dues amount or the installment option (two payments) upon renewal. View the FAQ section below for more details on installment plans.

Frequently Asked Questions

According to Article III(3)(b)(iii) of the Academy’s Bylaws, Emeritus Fellows are retired from full-time employment, and have submitted written notice that they elect Emeritus status and meet the criteria as outlined in the Board approved policy on Emeritus Status.

To be eligible for Emeritus status, a Fellow must be retired from full-time employment and reached the age of 70.

Emeritus Transition Form

The American Academy of Nursing accepts all major credit cards and check payments. In 2025, Fellows will have the option to complete dues through either a single payment or through a two-payment installment.

If you select the option to pay in two installments, please ensure that you also select the installment option in the payment section before hitting submit, see screenshot below, otherwise you will be charged the full amount. The installments option will only be available for selection through January 31, 2025. Your second dues payment must be submitted by March 31, 2025 at the latest.

If paying by credit card for the installment option, your credit card will automatically be charged for the second installment based on the installment schedule shown on the payment page.

You also have the option to login and pay for the second installment before the March 31, 2025 due date by visiting https://aannet.org/members/membership.asp and completing the 2nd installment payment there.

Please note: Upon making the first installment payment, your expiration date will reflect 6/29/2025 - and that is what will show in the initial automated notification you will receive. Once we receive your second dues installment payment (before March 31, 2025), your expiration date will be valid through 12/31/2025.

At this time, credit card information is not saved to your member profile, with the exception of individuals selecting the two-payment installments for dues renewal. You will be prompted to enter your credit card information each time you make a payment to the Academy.
