Program Summary:
The UBF Scholarship and Community Grant Program(s)
Are two distinct programs we’ve designed specifically to develop and organize the vast range of skills, abilities, and talents in underserved communities.
Our scholarship program consists of:
(1 ) the UBF Scholarship Award,
which ( includes incarcerated students) is a traditional scholarship award granted to students to assist with college and vocational tuition, books, and other such material necessary to advance one’s education; and
(2) a Community Organizing Award,
which is our way of acknowledging and commending community leaders, business owners, educators, and other such individuals who have developed and implemented educational platforms consistent with our organization’s Mission, Goals & Objectives, and Philosophy.
Our Community Grant Program provides for a grant award for business and affordable housing programs/projects, and other such economic and social programs/projects which have been developed by entrepreneurs, nonprofits, and grassroots organizations that serve underserved communities.

The UBF Program provides a great opportunity as well as an inspiration, particularly for those marginalized who ache for knowledge & the potential to exercise it in places like penitentiaries where the System affords little more than systemic alienation. It’s potential is infinite in its ability to fill a vacuum for those who feel “empty inside” behind Lock & Key.
Its additional emphasis on providing grants for those of us on the outside of the prison walls who are active in collectively knocking down the walls that keep every divided people a conquered people is exceptional.
I, myself, am signing up for assistance in our Liberation School in our Black, run-down community and encourage those considering investing into its Program to assist in our collective empowerment by contributing to it.
