Slippery Rock University has more than 75,000 graduates living throughout the country. Alumni are encouraged to join the Slippery Rock University Alumni Association, a separately incorporated organization that is devoted to serving the university and its alumni.

The Slippery Rock University Alumni Association hosts several events in the region and across the country to engage alumni.  A variety of benefits are associated with membership to the association, including discounts on insurance, partnerships with national travel partners and savings at campus entities including the SGA bookstore.  Significantly, the Alumni Association manages and awards eighteen scholarships. Seventeen of the scholarships, the Alumni Association Scholarship, Past Presidents’ Scholarship, the Madeline F. Stoops Scholarship, the the Nancy Angell/Hallie Dugan Smith Scholarship, the Eisaman Alumni Scholarship for sophomore students, the Maree McKay/ Esther Smiley Scholarships, the Carl and Norma Laughner Scholarship, the Maggie Meise Fellowship, the Watson Family Scholarship, Jeanne Powell Furrie Scholarships, the Anna Brua Williams Scholarships for women elementary education majors, and the Addison Scholarships are for academic excellence.  The N.
