The Fund provides scholarships to outstanding NOCCA graduates so they can follow their artistic passion while obtaining a college degree. The Fund also supports tuition at summer programs across the country, providing NOCCA’s young artists with year-round continued education. To date, Home for the Holidays and the Daniel Price Fund have raised over $700,000 for NOCCA and its amazing students.
