New pricing and rebates for USHPA Affiliate (30-day) memberships

The USHPA Board has approved a price reduction for Affiliate memberships, along with an increased PASA-certified school rebate for Student memberships.

New pricing for Affiliate (30-day) memberships

Retroactive to December 1, 2015

In ongoing efforts to minimize costs associated with instruction, the USHPA board decided to reduce the pricing for Affiliate (30-day) memberships to $6.

  • Cost of Affiliate (30-day) Membership: $6 (previously $8)
  • Refund for each Affiliate membership form purchased from USHPA since Dec 1, 2015: $2

Any Affiliate (30-day) membership forms purchased between December 1, 2015 and August 1, 2016 will automatically trigger a refund of $2 for each form. Refunds will be made to the credit cards used for original purchase. If instructors purchased forms for use in a school and were reimbursed for their purchase they should coordinate with the school regarding any adjustments required.

Student membership rebates for PASA-certified schools

All Student (30-day) memberships processed will trigger a rebate

The USHPA board has also revised rebate amounts to all PASA-certified schools for Student Affiliate (30-day) memberships. When a Student Affiliate membership is logged as required (specific process to be published soon), it is automatically eligible for a $4 rebate resulting in a net cost of $2.

Note that this program only applies to Student memberships, not Visiting Pilot memberships. It is only available to PASA-certified schools (regardless of who purchased the Affiliate/30-day membership form).
