How much does it cost?

It costs less than 10p a day to support Wharton in the UK! Annual Membership is £35 per year, and the 365 days start counting the day you join. Why wait?

Renewal: if you are a current Member and renew your Membership before expiry, the 365 days start counting on the day of expiration - you don't lose days for renewing early!

Where do my dues go?

Members' dues are used to cover our administrative costs and operating expenses and allow us to have an established infrastructure in the UK. This includes website with card processing, newsletters, database, events, services, and an amazing Admin! All Alumni involved with the Club - Advisory Board, Chairman, President, Board, Committee, and Volunteers - do so on a completely volunteer basis, donating several hours of their time in addition to being all of them current Club Members. All our efforts are reflected on the page you are looking at right now, and the various activities you can get involved in. Do explore and take advantage of this opportunity!
