Sororities strive to make membership as affordable as possible. Many sorority women hold jobs, receive financial aid or earn scholarships. There are also programs and scholarships for those who need assistance with membership. COCAP offers financial assistance in the form of scholarships to both graduating high school seniors who will attend a university with NPC organizations on campus and to current sorority women attending Chapman University in Orange, California. Our annual Athena Benefit Luncheon raises our funds for scholarships. Scholarship hopefuls should submit an application in accordance with the requirements on each of the scholarship pages. Candidates will be selected for personal interviews and then scholarships are presented in the fall at our Athena Benefit Luncheon.

Details about the requirements and the timeline for scholarships are available on the application and below.
