In January 2011, the IAQF launched its Academic Affiliate Membership, which is open to masters level academic programs conferring a degree in Quantitative Finance or similarly named concentration, including Financial Engineering, Mathematical Finance, and Computational Finance.

By becoming officially affiliated with the IAQF, Academic Affiliate Members bring international visibility to their programs and provide unique opportunities for their students and directors to connect with the organization. Students and administrators of Academic Affiliate programs receive a variety of member benefits, including:

• Membership in IAQF for up to three academic professors or administrators (value of $300, $100 per membership)
• Membership in IAQF for all current full and part-time students until graduation (a $25 value)
• One seat for a faculty or administrator at the IAQF FEOY Gala Dinner
• Discounted admission for students to IAQF events, including webinars, panels, and symposiums
• Highlighted as an Affiliate Member in FEOY programs and on the IAQF website
• Highlighted in the Program Directory as an academic member
• IAQF-sponsored student project competition with winning papers presented to the membership
