The Washington, DC Metropolitan Area Alumni Chapter of the Morgan State University National Alumni Association was established in 1947 by twelve enthusiastic local graduates of Morgan State College.  Mrs. Dorothy Amis and Mrs. Vestah W. Blye, two of the original members, are still active members.

In 2005, the Chapter established a $10,000.00 Scholarship Fund in the name of one of its chartered members, Mrs. Vestah W. Blye.  Since the establishment of the Fund, the Chapter has contributed over $20,000.00 to the Morgan State University Foundation, Inc. to finance scholarships for worthy students from the Washington, DC Metropolitan Area for university-related expenses.  Each year the Chapter provides three to five (3-5) scholarships for area students to attend Morgan.  Each scholarship recipient is required to volunteer in the Office of Alumni Affairs and Relations.

The Chapter has supported the university and the National Alumni Association by making contributions to Alumni Day Awards Luncheon, Homecoming activities, the Annual Presidential Gala, the Morgan Choir, and the Morgan Parents Club.  Two of the Chapter’s premier events are its Annual Crab Feast and the Morgan Choir Concert.  The profits from both of these events are for the benefit of our scholarship fund.

The Washington, DC Metropolitan Area Alumni Chapter is proud of its many accomplishments, including collecting and donating toys and clothing to Martha’s Table for persons in need, representing Morgan at the National Council of Negro Women’s College Fair held at the Charles H. Flowers High School (MD) and at other high schools and churches in the Washington Metropolitan area. Chapter members are vigorously recruiting quality students to attend Morgan.  The Chapter has 155 registered dues paying members.  Eight of our members became Life Members in 2005.

The Morgan State University National Alumni Association is proud to salute the Washington, DC Metropolitan Area Alumni Chapter as Chapter of the Year for 2006 for its outstanding financial support and its commitment and dedication to Morgan and its students.
