For two decades, NASP-Detroit has helped Metro Detroit students pursue their educational goals through scholarships and community support.
Since 2007, the organization has awarded more than $750,000 in scholarships to deserving students across Metro Detroit. Now celebrating 20 years of service, NASP-Detroit is continuing its mission with new fundraising efforts and a commitment to do more.
The organization’s work has supported students attending colleges and universities across the country, including Harvard University, Howard University, Spelman College, Morehouse College and the University of Michigan.
NASP-Detroit Scholarships Support Students
For many students, getting into college is only the beginning of the financial challenge.
Tuition is just one part of the cost of higher education. Students may also need money for books, technology, housing and other essential expenses.
That’s where NASP-Detroit scholarships can help.
The organization provides financial assistance to deserving students who need additional support as they pursue their education. Depending on a student’s needs, scholarship assistance can help cover educational resources that might otherwise create a financial burden.
Through this work, NASP-Detroit continues to invest in students and their long-term goals.
20 Years of Supporting Metro Detroit
NASP-Detroit’s scholarship mission has continued through difficult periods.
The organization maintained its commitment to students through financial challenges, natural disasters and the uncertainty created by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Despite those obstacles, NASP-Detroit continued raising funds and awarding scholarships.
That consistency has helped the organization build a lasting community legacy. Each scholarship recipient adds to a growing network of students who have received support while pursuing higher education.

More Than $750,000 Awarded
Since 2007, NASP-Detroit has awarded more than $750,000 to Metro Detroit students.
That investment represents more than a financial figure. It reflects years of supporting students as they work toward college degrees and professional careers.

NASP-Detroit says its work is not finished.
As educational expenses continue to challenge students and families, the organization remains focused on raising additional funds and reaching more deserving students.
