Black Scholars Awards Program

The Black Scholars Award (BSA) Program has been recognized both nationally and regionally since its inception in 1989.  This program originated due to the lack of support and recognition of the academic achievements of Black seniors from the various high schools throughout Northern Virginia.  The program is aimed at uplifting Black student scholars and having them serve as role models for their peers and in their community. 

In addition to the academic recognition of Northern Virginia Black Scholars, NOVA NPHC announces the two winners of the NoVA NPHC Scholarship during the Black Scholars Awards (BSA) Program. These two $1,000 scholarships are awarded to two graduating high school seniors who plan to attend an accredited four-year college or university upon graduation.

Congratulations to our 2026 winners.

2027 Scholarship applications are not open yet. The application will be open in February 2027. All applications must be received by March 28, 2027 at 11:59 pm. If you have any questions, contact the Scholarship committee at scholarship@novanphc.org.

The BSA Program takes place during the 3rd Sunday of May. The 2027 Black Scholars Award program will take place on Sunday, May 16, 2027.  We appreciate the parents, families, school system officials, state and local government officials, chapter presidents of our Northern Virginia fraternities and sororities, and fellow Greeks who attend and participate in the program as well as support our Black Scholars Awardees each year.

The winners will be announced and awarded at the program.
