RNA Scholarship 

The RNA partnered with the First Congregational Church to hold a Conversation on Race and also co-hosted a screening of the film Vel Phillips: Dream Big Dreams.  

RNA Scholarship 
Inspired by these conversations, the RNA created a scholarship with the purpose of acknowledging and celebrating the diversity, the energy, and the enthusiasm that the West High School students add to our neighborhood. Awards are given to two graduating seniors who have demonstrated engagement in multicultural activities both in school and in the greater Madison community while modeling a commitment to academic pursuits.

You can contribute to this fund along with your RNA Membership contribution or mail your scholarship gift to address at the bottom of this page. Thank you.

  • The RNA continues to collect new or gently used backpacks and school supplies to contribute to the student support services at West High School.  Contact Jen McDonald to make your contribution.  

  • In August, the RNA made a 4 year commitment totaling $6,000 to build and supply a food pantry at West High School. Modeled after the Food for Thought program at East High School, the RNA in partnership with The Regent Market Co-op and Second Harvest will continue to facilitate donations to sustain this work.​ Thank you for supporting the RNA in these efforts.
