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

News From The VSUAA Chaplain

Thank you for Joining Our First VSUAA Prayer Call of the Year!

Dear VSU Alumni,

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to each of you who joined us for the first Virginia State University Alumni Association Prayer Call of 2025. Your presence, prayers, and unity in faith created a powerful and uplifting experience for all.

Because of your engagement and the positive feedback we received, we are excited to announce that the prayer call will continue once a month!  Beginning in March, we will gather in prayer at 9 AM on the first Saturday of each month through December. We look forward to strengthening our spiritual connection and support for one another as we lift up our alma mater and our communities in prayer.

As we embark on this journey together, we are reminded of the words in 1 Corinthians 12:12-14:  

“Just as a body, though one, has many parts, but all its many parts form one body, so it is with Christ. For we were all baptized by one Spirit so as to form one body—whether Jews or Gentiles, slave or free—and we were all given the one Spirit to drink. Even so, the body is not made up of one part but of many.”

Our collective strengths as alumni across the country make us a force for good, and through this prayer call, we continue to unite in purpose, faith, and service.  With gratitude and excitement, we invite you to mark your calendars and join us in prayer each month. A flyer with login details will be sent out soon.

Together, we are Building a Bridge to Greater!

Blessings,

Rev. Kenyana Dawson
VSUAA Chaplain
