Alva Family Scholarship Fund

Rajesh and Emily Alva (P ’27, ’29, ’30)

The generous donation by Rajesh and Emily Alva (P ’27, ’29, ’30) creates a new endowed fund, the Alva Family Scholarship Fund, to provide perpetual financial support to a scholarship that will provide access to PBDA for a student from a diverse and underrepresented community.

“We have five kids and moved from New York City a few years ago. As a result of our many children, we’ve had a wide range of experiences with several top schools prior to moving. Emily and I both went to public schools and know how blessed our kids were to be able to attend Palm Beach Day. It combines a top-quality education with a warmth that creates an environment in which our kids thrive. Thanks to an attentive administration and staff, we feel like our kids are in trusted hands. Our donation for need-based, underrepresented populations was made so that someone else’s children would have the chance to experience what our children experience and hopefully change the trajectories of some lives in the process.”
