Riverside Alumnae
Panhellenic Association
Scholarship Information
RAPA has provided 197 local young ladies with scholarships totaling more than $347,695
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.
The 2010 Scholarship Application period is now OPEN! We will award 2
scholarships this year. Please download and read the documents below, or contact
your school counselor for a copy. ***DEADLINE MARCH 21***
