The application fee is $230. Half of the application fee is due to SMD-SC once we have reviewed your Preliminary Application, and the lineage has been determined to be viable. The balance of the application fee must accompany the application when it is submitted to GSMD for approval. Once the application is approved by GSMD the South Carolina annual membership dues are to be paid. Applications that are approved in the months of September, October, November, or December will receive a discount on that calendar year's dues; the following calendar year's dues are also payable on application approval.

When an applicant is descended from more than one Mayflower passenger, additional supplemental applications may be submitted. The supplemental application fee is $230 each, of which half is due when lineage has been determined to be viable. The balance of the supplemental fee must accompany the application when it is ready to be submitted to GSMD for approval. There is no SC additional annual dues payment required with the supplemental application. Supplemental applications are submitted on a Preliminary Application Form Supplement, separate from the first-time membership Preliminary Application Form.

Junior membership is for Mayflower descendants under 18 years old. The fee is $50.
