Centennial Scholarships
The National Panhellenic Conference (NPC) is made up of 26 inter/national sororities and is the largest advocacy and support organization for the women’s-only sorority experience. NPC plans to award 10 college scholarships of $2,000 each annually through our new NPC Centennial Scholarships Program.
NPC has a long history of advocating to make the cost of a higher education more affordable to more women. These new NPC Centennial Scholarships are one more step we are taking to improve college affordability.
The scholarships are named for the NPC Foundation’s Centennial Fund, which is providing funding for the new scholarship program.
The NPC Centennial Scholarships online application form is available now through March 9, 2025. Recipients will be announced in May 2025.
The applicant will be asked to do the following via the form:
- Attach a resume describing the applicant’s academic pursuits, school/extra-curricular involvement and community involvement.
- Provide contact information for an individual who can provide a letter of support/recommendation. The individual providing the letter should hold the scholarship applicant in high regard and be able to speak clearly about the student’s commitment to high academic achievement, school activities and community involvement. (Note: The individual will receive an email with instructions on how to upload the letter to the scholarship application system.)
- Write a short essay describing either the applicant’s current experience with service and leadership in a women’s-only or women’s-focused organization (e.g., Girl Scouts, Girls on the Run, Girls Inc., local organizations for women and girls) or the applicant’s plans to participate in a women’s-only or women’s-focused organization during college.
High school women graduating in spring 2025 and attending college in fall 2025 are eligible for these scholarships. While we hope the scholarship applicants will join a sorority during college, membership is not a requirement of the award.
