Community Scholars for Black Lives Scholarship

Cal Lutheran created the Community Scholars for Black Lives Fellowship Program to empower students to work in tandem with community leaders and create conditions for Black lives to flourish.

Through the Community Scholars for Black Lives Fellowship Program, a small cohort of Cal Lutheran students will be engaged in work that embodies progress toward a just society in which African Americans do not bear the brunt of racist structures and systems. The program features scholarship, mentorship and community engagement.
