Annual fellowship dues for Fellows of the HFA

Annual dues are €288 per calendar year (from 1 January to 31 December).

The fee is to be paid once the Credential Committee has informed the candidate of their acceptance.

After two years of non-payment of fees, consecutively or not, the Fellow will be informed of his/her exclusion from the HFA Fellowship, unless payment is received within 3 months. His/her reintegration in the HFA Fellowship register will be accepted upon payment of all due fees.

A "pay in order" principle applies: the FHFA fee is due every year and one may only pay the FHFA fee of the given year.
