Membership Benefits

About MSAC

We are a lively place to gather for classes, to engage with others, to share a meal-and we are re-opening for some in-person programs this summer after a long pandemic closing that put most online! We offer a wide variety of events, activities and programs relating to health, arts, travel, crafts, recreation, and education.

Pro-rated Dues and Financial Aid

MSAC membership dues are an annual expense and are not pro-rated until the 4th quarter of the membership year (April 2024 – June 2024), at which time the dues are discounted 50% to join for only the 4th quarter.  
 
Residents of Montpelier and MSAC’s five supporting towns are eligible to request financial aid to help cover annual membership dues. Members of all towns are eligible to request financial aid for class and trip fees. Financial aid applications may be requested in the office or printed online here: Financial Aid Application Form (PDF).  

For the latest membership year, which started on July 1, 2023, dues are $25 per year for Montpelier residents, $40 for residents of supporting towns (Berlin, Calais, East Montpelier, Moretown, Worcester), or $60 for all others. More on fee policies for various towns' residents can be read here. Our membership year runs from July 1st - June 30th.
