The Plant-a-Seed Soirée 2026 was a night to remember!

Thank you to everyone who supported this year’s event and continues to invest in the success of NWACC students and the greater Northwest Arkansas community.

Together, we reached a historic milestone—raising more than $142,000 for student scholarships. This incredible achievement was made possible by the generosity, commitment, and compassion of our community.

From all of us at the NWACC Foundation, thank you.

Huge thank you to Regions Bank and the NWACC Bike Tech Program for building these incredible bikes!

Over the past two semesters, Regions Bank has hosted free Financial Literacy Workshops for students. Those who attended every session were entered into a drawing to win a free bike—and we’re excited to celebrate our winners: Leigh Fowler, Rebecca Stevens, and Dulcemaria Zamudio!

Swipe to see the winners and their new rides!

You’re Invited to the NWACC Foundation’s Biggest Night For Student Scholarships!✨

This year’s Plant-a-Seed Soirée, sponsored by Cheez-It, will take place at Heroncrest Event Center in Elm Springs on Friday, May 1st, at 6:00pm.

This classic floral-themed celebration brings together the very best of NWACC for an unforgettable evening. Guests will enjoy a welcoming cocktail reception with live music by the NWACC Jazz Band, followed by a seated dinner prepared by Brightwater chefs and students.

The evening will also feature both live and silent auctions, and an after‑party with alumni DJ Leon Jamison. Join us for a wonderful night of community and support for NWACC.

When you fund scholarships at NorthWest Arkansas Community College Foundation, you provide our students with more than affordable tuition and books—you provide an educational experience that changes lives for the better.
