NOTE: The fee structure for members outside the U.S. will be set according to World Bank classifications based on per capita income designated as low, middle and high.

The fee structure for the Founders Awards will be based on the first nominator’s residence.

High Income* = US$45

* These fee categories are based on a country’s GNI per capita as defined by World Bank Basic Indicators table. Updated July 2006 based on Country GNI for 2005 per World Bank; effective until July 2007.
