APS Fellowship Allocations

The number of recommended nominees in each year may not exceed one-half percent of the current membership of the Society, excluding student members. The maximum number of Fellows that can be recommended by each unit is calculated based on either the unit’s percentage of APS members, excluding students (for Divisions and Topical Groups), or one Fellow per five-hundred unit members, excluding students (for Forums). Units may submit additional qualified candidates (“alternates”) in rank order to be considered for Fellow spots unused by other units.
