Since the Royal Neighbors Scholarship Program began in 1961, we have provided more than $5 million in funding to qualifying students who are selected based on their academic merit, community volunteer efforts, and leadership skills.
Congratulations to the following scholarship recipients for the 2025-2026 academic year. We are proud to support these members and their quest for post-secondary education at an accredited institution.
“I have learned the importance of empowering others to volunteer within their community. It has reminded me that small acts of kindness can go a long way.” –Zanya Sewell, Colorado Springs, Colo.
“I’ve learned that some of the people we impact the most are those we will never have the opportunity to meet. All they need to know is that someone out there cares enough to make a difference. Helping others is something worth doing, and it has become an important part of my life.” –Jenna Becker, Las Vegas, Nev.
“Volunteering makes me realize how big my heart is. Living and growing up in a small rural town makes me feel closer to the people and my community. I start to open up to people and build trust. My community also became my family.” –Aken Xiong, Magazine, Ark.
