Scholarship Information
RAPA has provided 200 local young ladies with scholarships totaling more than $350,000 from
the proceeds of our annual Home Tour fundraiser. Each scholarship is given in remembrance of a
member of Riverside Panhellenic and awarded at a special meeting each May. Recipients who
then pledge a NPC sorority have $200 of their initiation fee paid for by RAPA too! Our
scholarship is NOT solely need-based, we look at all high school activities, grades and
accomplishments.
This scholarship is open only to graduating female seniors from Riverside, Alvord, Jurupa or
Moreno Valley school districts, or a private high school in the Riverside area, with an overall high
school GPA of at least 3.5, who are going to a four-year college/university where NPC sororities
are represented.
