California Lutheran University created the Community Scholars for Black Lives program in 2020 to empower students to develop projects designed to strengthen the Black community. With the Amgen Foundation as its major funder, the program was inspired by the challenge from North Central University in Minnesota to establish memorial scholarships in George Floyd’s name.
Fall 2024 represents the fifth cohort of students who engage in work that embodies progress toward a just society. The program features scholarships, mentorships and community partnerships.
