Types of Membership

The Virginia State University Alumni Association currently offers three types of Membership: Annual, Associate, and Life.  These are described in detail below.

Annual Membership - $30.00
Annual Membership is designated for those individuals who attended Virginia State or any of its previous designations.  Those who subscribe within this category pay national yearly dues of $30.00 to the Alumni Association directly –at large- or through a local chapter and receive full membership benefits for one year.  Membership is FREE for New Graduates following their first year after graduation.

Associate Membership - $30.00
Associate Membership is designated for those individuals who did not attend Virginia State or any of its previous designations but are interested in advancing the University's goals through the Alumni Association.  Those who subscribe within this category pay annual national dues of $30.00 to the National Alumni Association directly –at large- or through a local chapter and receive full membership benefits for one year.

Edward A. Ragland Life Membership - $750.00**
Life Membership is conferred to individuals who meet the qualifications in one of the above membership designations, submit an application, and pay the $750.00 fee.  A subscribing life member is an individual making payments towards life membership.

****Note: Local chapter dues vary and are in addition to the National membership dues of $30.00

 
***In 2000, the Association's Board of Directors renamed its life membership status to the "Edward A. Ragland Life Membership" in honor of the Association's 26th National Alumni President

    Congratulations to VSU alums Maurice Jones, Class of '12, and Marlo Smith, Class of '13, who was recently crowned Mr. & Ms. Alumni 2025-2027 by the VSU Alumni Association.

    The Mr. and Ms. VSU Alumni Scholarship Contest is a fundraising initiative sponsored by the VSU Alumni Association. This year, eight dedicated alumni contestants served as fundraising ambassadors for several weeks to support VSU through the Alumni Association. The contestant who raised the most would be awarded the Mr. or Ms. Alumni title.

    Maurice Jones raised the most among the four Mr. Alumni contestants, collecting $7,360, while Marlo Smith raised $12,153.80 among the four Ms. Alumni contestants.   The eight contestants raised an impressive $45,996.20 in support of tuition assistance for VSU students.  We look forward to the work and contributions our incoming Mr. & Ms. Alumni will make on behalf of VSUAA.
