Applications are now open!
Applications for our 2026 scholarships are now open.
The estimated amount for each scholarship will be $2500 and will be given directly to each winner to do with as they choose. This can be helpful with tuition, sorority dues, or general living expenses. Over the years we have celebrated many women and honored their Panhellenic service. We would love to have you join those successful women! Please examine the directions below and submit all application materials by February 22, 2026.
- Check your eligibility – You must have active membership in an NPC sorority chapter, be in good standing for the 2025-2026 school year AND have a permanent OR collegiate address with a zip code of 144_ _, 145_ _, or 146_ _. Graduate students are eligible to apply (there are no address restrictions IF the graduate student is an active dues-paying member of a Rochester Alumnae Panhellenic group).
- Use only the 2026-2027 application materials – contact information may have changed from prior year applications.
- Complete all pages of the application (RAP Scholarship Application 26-27), including the personal statement. You may complete the application electronically, or you may hand-print the information on a hardcopy of the application. See #6 below for deadline and submission instructions.
- Arrange for a copy of your transcript to be sent to the email or street address below. This is not required to be an official transcript.
- Request letters of recommendation from each of the following:
- An educational recommendation (advisor, professor) – please, no fellow students; AND
- A character reference (neighbor, employer, clergy) – please, no relatives.
Complete the two fields on the ‘RAP Recommendations 26-27′ form and then provide a copy to each of your references. Ask them to submit their letters of recommendation to either the e-mail or the street address on the form. Note: It is important to follow up your requests to be certain they are completed and postmarked/emailed by the deadline.
Your completed application, postmarked no later than February 22, 2026, should be submitted to the e-mail or street address provided in the application. You may include all of the parts of the application in one package or they may be submitted separately, but incomplete applications or those postmarked after the deadline may not be eligible for consideration. Please do not require signature for delivery for any expedited mailing service. Expedited mailing is not necessary as applications must only be postmarked by the above date, not delivered.
