The aims and objectives of the Association are to: (i) help AMU and its student body through scholarship and other programs; (ii) develop and strengthen a sense of community by organizing social projects and events in the Washington DC area; and (iii) promote cultural awareness through cultural and literary activities

Even if you have only visited the Aligarh Muslim University once in your lifetime, it remains with you forever. Wherever there are even a few Aligs, they are quick to form an Association to reconnect to the Aligarh spirit, to rejuvenate old friendships, to renew acquaintances and to reminisce. The Washington Metropolitan area was no exception. In 1975 some Aligs painstakingly developed a list of alumni residing in the metropolitan area and organized a meeting in suburban Maryland. Within a few months this initial meeting led to the formation of the Aligarh Alumni Association of Washington, DC.
The Association deviated from the traditional “Old Boys Association” label to eliminate gender bias and called itself the “Aligarh Muslim University Alumni Association” or simply the “Aligarh Alumni Association.” It is the oldest continuously functioning Aligarh Association in North America.
AIMS AND OBJECTIVES:
