The IFNV’s major area of focus is raising money to fund scholarships for local high school seniors through sponsoring our annual Cooley-Moore Luncheon Fashion Show. The annual signature event is a remarkable occasion featuring a luncheon, fashion show, music, shopping, door prizes, and more. A boutique of vendors is featured with various accessories, clothing, jewelry, and specialty items, with the noble cause of supporting educational goals. The presence and support of many make a significant difference in the lives of dynamic students. 

This event has raised money to fund more than 100 scholarships for deserving students in Alexandria and Arlington communities since its inception. Our scholarship recipients represent a diverse array of students with a multitude of interests. They attend various public and private universities throughout the country. Each year, the IFNV awards new scholarships to a minimum of two deserving students. These renewable scholarships total $16,000.00 each over four years.

The Cooley-Moore Scholarship Fund was established in honor of two Zeta Chi Omega Chapter charter members - Marie Cooley and Emma Moore. From 1957 to 2024, over $500,000 was awarded in scholarships. Of that amount, an estimated $82,000 was provided to students attending Historically Black Colleges or Universities (HBCUs).

The first educational grants were awarded in 1957 to students graduating from Parker Gray, Luther Jackson, and Hoffman Boston High Schools. The amount of the first award was $150.

The annual Cooley-Moore Luncheon Fashion Show is the signature event that supports the Cooley-Moore Scholarship. The event features renowned designer Kenny Kas, celebrity host Guy Lambert, and youth designers from HBCUs. A scholarship recipient provides the keynote address, and the event is open to the public for support.

In recent years, scholarship recipients have received either four-year recurring scholarships in the amounts of $2,000 to $4,000 per year, one-time $4,000 stipend-scholarships to attend Historically Black College or Universities (HBCUs), or other stipend awards in varying amounts from $1,000 to $3,000. Read more information on The Cooley-Moore Scholarship Fund...
