Membership Fee
Based on the membership type and development index of the applicant's or member's country of residence, HiLS has different membership fee categories. The membership fee provisions are structured on the basis of the World Bank categorization of the nations based on 2009 Gross National per-capita Income. This categorization includes Low Income nations, Lower Middle Income nations, and High Income nations. However, as HiLS is stationed in Nepal, it has a separate provision for the Nepalese applicants/members, in which they can pay the membership fee in Nepalese currency. Please check out the World Bank category of your nation on the right or left column and find out the membership fee applicable to you.
For all categories, the membership validity period will be from 1 November to 31 October of every year. Please renew your membership before 31 October every year.
On 2013 January 21, executive committee of HiLS has decided to provide 50% discount in all membership fee at least for three years.
