More Than Just a Scholarship

Your donations have the power to transform lives. Even a small gift has the potential to help a working mother take time off to study, allow a tradesman to get the needed certifications to transition into the workforce or an aspiring artist start a career as a successful graphic designer.

Our Students Are Our Greatest Success

Here’s a glimpse at how your donations help our students.

Getting scholarships helped me stay in school. I didn't have to worry about where my tuition would come from, allowing me to focus more on my classes.


-Amarpreet Kaur

Received $900 support from local and private organizations, and $1,000 from the NOVA Alumni Federation Scholarship


"Why did I decide to go back to school at this age, and this chapter in my life? Because of the generosity of Foundation donors, I can do what I love to do – photography."


-Adriana Pac

One of three recipients of the Chadab Foundation Scholarship for the Visual and Performing Arts


"Art is the universal language of humankind. It requires you to recognize the difference between what you see, what you think you see, and what's actually there. Through the scholarship, I can pursue my goals of a master's degree and a career as a professional artist."


-Helen Binder

One of three recipients of the Chadab Foundation Scholarship for the Visual and Performing Arts


"I had gone to a four-year college and NOVA is just as educational. NOVA's affordability, teachers, and programs will allow me to continue to graduate school and open my own gallery one day."


-Leigh Wynn

Recipient of the Alexandria Endowed Photography Scholarship for Photography and Media


"There is only one reason to choose Nursing as a profession: to offer a helping hand to the needy. Through this scholarship, nothing will stop me from serving my community."


-Reenaba Chudasama

Recipient of the Margaret Lucille Bonner RN Memorial Trust Fund Scholarship


"I am a working mother and a student. These scholarships helped me take off work for test weeks, not stress about making rent or utilities payments, and purchase a new laptop."


-Sumbal Raza

Recipient of The Esther Clairvaux Nursing Scholarship, The Margaret Lucille Bonner RN Memorial Trust Fund Scholarship, and Regency Women's Club Nursing Scholarship
