About This Scholarship

The National Parent Volunteer Association runs a small slate of $1,000 scholarships tied to community involvement, and the Aaliyah Lee Scholarship is its late-fall entry, honoring the memory of a student who committed herself to educational opportunity. The November 30, 2026 deadline makes it a useful add for seniors building an application calendar after the big October rush.

Eligibility follows the NPVA's standard template: applicants must be enrolled at an accredited U.S. institution, be a current high school junior or senior or a college student, and hold at least a 2.5 GPA. The application centers on an essay, and NPVA publishes its winners' essays, which gives applicants a clear picture of what the selection committee rewards.

At $1,000, this is a supplemental award rather than a tuition-mover, but the modest competition profile and straightforward requirements make it a reasonable-effort application for students with a genuine community involvement story to tell.

Eligibility

  • Enrolled in (or enrolling at) an accredited U.S. institution
  • Current high school junior or senior, or college student
  • Minimum 2.5 GPA
  • Essay submission required

How To Apply

  • Review the Aaliyah Lee Scholarship listing and past winning essays on the NPVA scholarships page
  • Write your essay and gather your enrollment and GPA documentation
  • Submit your application through the NPVA scholarships page by November 30, 2026

Why Trust The College Investor

The College Investor has helped millions of readers navigate paying for college and student loans since 2009. Every scholarship in our database is individually reviewed by our team before it goes live, and re-checked regularly so deadlines and links stay current.

Our Scholarship Standards

A listing here means our team checked that the award is real, currently active, and actually pays out. We won't list a scholarship that:

  • Charges any kind of fee to apply
  • Makes you join a paid membership, or sign up for an app or service, just to be eligible
  • Has a privacy policy that would let the sponsor sell or misuse your information
  • Collects essays, ideas, or contact details mainly to feed the sponsor's marketing
  • Can't show a winner from the past 12 months, or offers no way to reach the sponsor

One nuance: established companies and nonprofits that run applications through their own systems may still be listed, even though creating an account there is part of applying.
