'''Sponsored Membership''' is available to certain members of The Augustan Society, Inc., who may be temporarily or permanently unable to pay their dues and other obligations.
Sponsorship is presently available tothose who are:
* [[Fellowship|Fellows]] of the Society;
* Those in In [[Good Standing]] for all reasons not related to finances; and* Those who Who request sponsorship, and repeat the request annually at need.
That said, Sponsorship may be limited by the [[Budget]]. There is presently no [[Board]] policy on how to handle matters if the budget is insufficient to the need, but [[Headquarters Staff]] have adopted the pragmatic policy that preference is to be given according to the [[Warrant of Precedence]]. The practical effect of this is that those holding more senior Fellowships will receive sponsorship first.
The identity of the Sponsored Members will be kept confidential, with data provided only to Headquarters Staff on a need-to-know basis.
Sponsorship should be advertised in renewal materials, and the request for same must should be received at Headquarters before the expiration of their membership. No grace period has been authorized by the Board, and but Headquarters Staff are not authorized to extend clemency except for the usual exception for communication failures (slow mails, etc.), or to retain a qualified member they feel would be of net benefit to the Society.
