A hardship provision is available to any PMI member whose financial condition has changed drastically and sufficiently so that a member would have difficulty renewing their membership.

A member must be in good standing for at least three previous years to qualify for the hardship provision. Under this provision, a member is granted a waiver for one year of PMI membership dues and one year of chapter dues for up to two chapters of which the applicant was a member the
previous year (if the applicant was a member of more than two Chapter, they must choose up to two Chapter for consideration).

The Hardship Provision may be granted for a maximum of two years for each member. To apply for consideration, send a letter explaining the nature of the hardship, along with your PMI invoice, to the attention of Membership Processing prior to your PMI membership expiration date.
