NOTE: Explanation of OSURA Membership Length

OSURA has a donation-based membership model which means to “join” OSURA and enjoy the benefits offered, you need to make a yearly gift/donation of $25 or more to the OSURA Support Fund #315499.

Membership is tracked through the University’s database, which runs on a calendar year.  Members are encouraged to make their gift before December 31 to maintain their annual membership for the following year.

New retirees only, who “join” anytime in the calendar year, will not need to renew their membership until the following autumn.  (Example – if you “join” on July 10, 2020, your membership would not expire until December 31, 2021.)

Current OSURA Annual Members who miss the December 31 deadline are still encouraged to make their gift in the new year. Those who donate in the first part of the calendar year, between January 1 – June 30, may receive a renewal notification in the fall of that year even though your membership expiration date will be December 31 of the following calendar year.

Options for paying dues:

• Pay online with a credit card. To become a Lifetime Member, change the “gift amount” to $500. New (January 1, 2022) – if you hold a degree from Ohio State, your OSURA Lifetime Membership will qualify you as a Life Donor member of The Ohio State University Alumni Association for one year.
• Call OSU Alumni Association Engagement Services at 614-292-2281 or 800-762-5646 to make a credit card payment. 
• Send a check made payable to The Ohio State University Foundation, noting OSURA Fund #315499 in the check memo line. Mail to:
