The Black Alumni Scholarship
The Spring 2025 Black Alumni Scholarship Application is now open! Deadline to apply: March 11, 2025

Both the old Igbo and Yoruba African proverb say:
“It takes a village to raise a child”
This proverb is a staple of the Black community. It means that an entire community of people must invest in our young people to help them to flourish in a safe and healthy environment. The CSULB Black Alumni Scholarship honors this proverb by supporting the mission of the Black Resource Center and providing scholarships for students supporting the advocacy of our African American population on campus.
All students, regardless of sex, race, color, national origin, or any other protected identity, who are interested in the program’s mission and focus, are welcome and eligible to participate in the Black Scholars Program.
