For Affiliate and Industry members, Internet2 membership is divided into four levels (see below). A member’s level determines its annual membership dues and network participation fees.  Levels are based on annual operating budgets for Affiliate members, and annual revenues for Industry members. The annual Sustaining Contribution of Higher Education members is established on a scale-based approach (membership levels are no longer used for Higher Education members). Learn more about the scale-based method for Higher Education members.
