On February 10, 2018, during former SUAF-WDC Chapter President Mr. Vincent Brown’s administration, the DC Chapter established a $25,000 endowed scholarship fund called the Southern University Alumni Federation, Washington, DC Chapter Endowed Scholarship Fund of Higher Education. Upon Vincent’s passing on July 25, 2022, the chapter renamed the scholarship to the Vincent M. Brown Washington DC Alumni Chapter Endowed Scholarship in recognition of our beloved former leader. Recently, the endowment reached its second goal of $50,000! Click HERE to contribute to the endowed scholarship fund.
