Dear Dr. Marrero, 

Thank you for sharing the opportunity to us. I wanted to let you know that in INFORMS system, they still show a fee of $20 while adding the MIF membership. However, in the checkout they are not charging anything. As INFORMS system can detect us as a student, it would be better if they directly show us the student rate there. Same for other community chapters as well. 

Thanks again.
