Help Keep First Year Free for Students

SMPTE’s First Year Free initiative is a global offer which allows students to join SMPTE free in the first year and at greatly reduced rates into early career. This was started by a generous gift from Bill and Ellen Miller, and it is now up to all of us to help continue this important work.

SMPTE student members are full members of the society just like you. Through membership we seek to connect them with an industry that is hungry for young engineers and scientists to build upon the important work we do for global media. In 2022 and 2023 SMPTE will be growing its outreach to show individuals in physics, computer science, electrical and mechanical engineering how they can make an impact through careers in Media, Broadcast, and Cinema. By opening the doors to more students and inviting them in, we are helping grow the industry of tomorrow.

I am asking you to help us bring SMPTE’s Motion Imaging Journal, Education, and network to our students worldwide by making a tax-deductible contribution today. Your gift will make a direct impact on the future of our industry. And don’t forget, your employer may match your gift, growing the impact!

Joining us in making a gift supporting our First Year Free Campaign  so that we can continue to open the doors of industry to the future of our industry.
