Upgrade to Life Membership

The Edward A. Ragland Life Membership, named in honor of the Association's 26th National Alumni President, allows you to make a lifetime membership commitment to the Alumni Association. All payments for Life Membership are invested to ensure that the support you show as a Life Member today can be fulfilled in the coming years.

When choosing Life Membership, there are three payment options to choose from:

1. One-time payment:

$750.00

2. Installment plan 1:

Installments of (3) payments of $250

3. Installment plan 2:

Installments of (6) payments of $125

You may pay off the balance anytime if you choose one of the two installment plans shown above. However, the final balance must be paid off within the third year of the anniversary of the initial payment. The Life membership designation only becomes effective upon receipt of your final payment, and until such time, you will be considered a subscribing Life Member.   If interested in one of the installment plans, please send an e-mail to executivesecretary@vsuaaonline.com
