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.
