I'm a member of an HSLDA Discount Group. How do I add my group affiliation to my membership?
If you’re a member of an HSLDA Discount Group, you’re eligible for $15 off the yearly membership price. Contact your group leader to get your six-digit group code. If you're not yet an HSLDA member, you can start an HSLDA membership application and easily add your group code by clicking on “Group Affiliation” in the payment summary. Click to watch a video tutorial of this process. If you're already an HSLDA member and want to apply this discount to your current yearly membership, contact us at [email protected] or call our office.

I can't afford HSLDA membership. Are there options for me?
We don't want financial difficulty to prevent you from experiencing the benefits of HSLDA membership. If our membership dues are prohibitive for you, consider applying for Membership Financial Aid. We also offer other types of financial assistance through our HSLDA Compassion Grants.

I live outside the US. Can I still join HSLDA?
Yes, homeschooling families who live outside the United States and those who are citizens of other nations are invited to join HSLDA. HSLDA’s Global Outreach team is willing to provide counsel for international members who encounter difficulties. While various factors (such as citizenship, military status, and local laws) impact the methods by which HSLDA can assist you, our staff will always be committed to advocating for homeschooling freedom. You’ll also receive discounts on products and services through our Member Savings program, special pricing on HSLDA Store products, and a subscription to our quarterly magazine, the Home School Court Report. Note: If you are a resident of Canada, please check out HSLDA Canada.
I’m in a legal emergency. Can I become a member today?
If your family needs immediate assistance, we suggest that you expedite your membership application with the $40 rush fee. You will receive an initial contact about your legal situation within 1 business day. Because processing a rush application requires the immediate diversion of HSLDA resources, the $40 fee is nonrefundable. Legal assistance for your current situation is not guaranteed. Be sure to include details about your situation in your application and be prepared to submit copies of relevant documentation (letters, court documents, etc.). If we cannot assist you, you will have the option to withdraw your application and receive a refund of your membership dues (minus any rush fee).
How long does legal review of my application take?
If you indicate on your membership application that you need help resolving a legal problem affecting your homeschool, we will need to review your application. We will typically contact you about your legal situation within 3 business days. Membership acceptance is determined after legal review is complete, which may take several weeks. If we determine we can help with your homeschool’s current legal situation, we will activate your membership and you will get access to HSLDA member benefits. If we cannot assist you with your legal situation, you will have the option to withdraw your application and receive a refund of your membership dues (minus any rush fee). To receive an initial contact within 1 business day, you can accelerate your application with a nonrefundable rush fee of $40.
When can I start using my membership benefits?
Once your application has been reviewed and your
membership activated, you will receive a welcome email. Then you will be able
to immediately access your membership benefits by logging into your online
account.
How can I change my membership payment option?
You can change your membership pricing plan by following these steps:
