The Washington, D.C. Chapter of the FAMU National Alumni Association annually awards four $2,000 scholarships to area students. Beyond fulfilling our commitment to seek out and award scholarships to high achieving and worthy students in the Greater Washington Metropolitan area communities, the chapter, in recent years, has contributed $10,000 annually to the university to supplement its broad-range scholarship program.

In 1998, the chapter named the four scholarships for FAMU alumni and chapter members who have made lasting contributions to the chapter and area communities.
