The Armani Jones Memorial Scholarship was established by Neriah Grand Chapter to support Arkansas teens pursuing higher education and career opportunities. This scholarship is funded through the annual NGC Queen Pageant fundraising initiative, where chapters across the jurisdiction participate in raising funds to support student applicants.

​

Each year, during Neriah Grand Chapter Conclave, the NGC Queen contestant who raises the highest amount of funds is crowned, with all proceeds directly supporting the Armani Jones Memorial Scholarship.

​

In 2026, Worthy Matron A’Ja Rolfe of Elite Sisters of Light #007 is proudly participating as an NGC Queen contestant, with a fundraising goal of $1,500 through sponsorships, fundraising efforts, crowdfunding, and in-kind donations. Funds raised through this initiative will directly impact Arkansas teens by helping reduce financial barriers to education.

​

Community partners, businesses, and supporters are invited to join us in investing in the future of Arkansas youth by supporting this scholarship initiative.
