Membership Categories

Student Membership  
Currently enrolled students receive the benefits of a full membership at a discounted rate.
Full Membership

The generous contributions from our volunteer leaders, members, and friends are greatly appreciated.  Through your support the Society is able to:
  • Grant SBL Awards to young scholars

  • Provide resources for the International Cooperation Initiative, which works to promote the exchange of ideas, scholarship, and leadership between scholars and students globally

  • Meet the needs of teachers in US public education who are developing Bible courses for ninth through twelfth grades.

We thank our donors and volunteers for making these and other achievements possible.
