Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between pay in full and the 10-month plan?
Both options cover the same full year of membership. Pay in Full charges the total amount once. The 10-Month Plan splits it into equal payments billed each month from August through May — following the school year. The total cost is the same either way.
When does the 10-month plan start and end?
Payments begin in August and run through May, aligning with the Memphis-Shelby County Schools calendar. No payments are collected in June or July.
When are dues due?
Dues are due at the start of each school year. Renewing early ensures uninterrupted access to all member benefits.
Is my payment secure?
Yes. All payments are processed securely through GoDaddy Commerce with industry-standard encryption.
Can I pay by check or payroll deduction?
