The member effort to sign up new recruits while supporting student education will continue until June 30. Through this membership campaign, 50 percent of a new member's first-year dues will go into a scholarship fund for mechanical engineering students that is managed by the ASME Foundation. Dues from a new member who was not recruited by an ASME member will not be added to the scholarship fund.

Since the Member Recruitment Campaign started in August, it has brought in more than $14,000, or about one new $1,500 scholarship a month. In April alone, the campaign raised more than $600.

A total of 326 new members have joined since the program began last summer. Overall, 294 members have taken part by sponsoring a new member.

These scholarships will be awarded to ASME student members based on their scholastic abilities and potential contributions to the mechanical engineering profession.
