Black Excellence Scholarship

Make your gift to the Black Excellence Scholarship Fund

Established in 2020, this scholarship fund is for all students who support the mission to recruit, retain, and educate Black undergraduate students at Santa Clara University, to further diversify the Santa Clara campus community, and to catalyze systems that allow for greater solidarity with students of color. This is a need-based scholarship with priority granted to all students who are in full support of the SCU commitment to increase the success outcomes and thriving of Black first-generation college students.
