Who are the DC Spartans?
The DC Spartans are a community of more than 11,000 Michigan State University alumni in the Washington, D.C. metro area. The Club is not a membership-based organization and does not require annual dues. Spartan alumni, friends, family, and fans are welcome to participate in all club events, including networking opportunities, community service events, an intern mentoring program, and more.
Can you tell me about the Club's scholarships?
The Club sponsors two endowed scholarships at Michigan State University: the Rachel Kahan Memorial Scholarship and the Betty Mitchell Colden Scholarship. These scholarships provide a means for academically strong students from the Washington D.C. metro to attend Michigan State University. Since 2017, the Club has supported 11 students with scholarships, totaling $14,000.
"The Rachel Kahn Memorial Scholarship allowed me to work in Washington D.C. at the American Association of Geographers, where I was able to explore what I wanted out of my career. After my internship, I returned home to Detroit and worked in the local nonprofit space, helping entrepreneurs of color access capital for their business needs. I now work in Commercial Banking at JP Morgan and hope to return to the vibrant D.C. community at some point in the future. I am grateful for the scholarship because, without this opportunity, I would not have experienced all that D.C. has to offer young professionals."
