How Do We Fund The Scholarships?
We do several fundraisers through out the year to help support our scholarships. Read below to learn more about each fundraiser and when it will take place.
Play at the Little Theater of Alexandria
NVAPA’s biggest fundraiser of the year is hosting a theatrical performance at The Little Theater of Alexandria. NVAPA members sell tickets to the show and hold a pre-play reception for all attendees. Money raised during this and various other activities help to fund our undergraduate scholarships of $1,500 each. These scholarships are open to NPC women who attend a college/university in the Commonwealth of Virginia.
To purchase a single ticket ($40) for the scholarship play “Matilda” showing on February 19, 2025 at the Little Theater of Alexandria, please click here.
Online Basket Raffle
Along with the play we do online raffle to raise funds for the scholarships. Gift baskets are graciously donated by members and organizations of our alumnae panhellenic association. A big THANK YOU to them for donating such wonderful items.
This year’s raffle has ended. Thank you to all those who donated baskets and to those who bought raffle tickets.
