Any U.S. institution of higher education can join the American Institute of Bangladesh Studies. A Letter of Intent to join AIBS should be sent to the President. This letter should affirm the institution's long term interest in the scholarly understanding of Bangladesh through research on Bangladesh and/or teaching courses related to Bangladesh. The Letter of Intent should also state the number of faculty who are interested in Bangladesh research or have a research agenda on Bangladesh.

The President of AIBS will submit the Letter of Intent to the AIBS Board for approval. The membership fee is $250 per year, and payment is due by November. The membership year is September - August. Each institutional member has one seat on the Board of Trustees. Faculty from member institutions do not pay any application fee for AIBS fellowships or for participation in any other AIBS program.
