UBFSF | Scholarship & Community Grant Programs
The UBFSF 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.
To effectively change the structural environment of an underserved community, we recognize the greatest asset to an underserved community is the individual him or herself and the role they play in shaping the “Village”. They are the most vested and determined to create solutions to the social and economic problems we face. By investing in them, their education and ideas, we find the greatest potential for social change.
Thus, the primary objective of our scholarship and community grant programs is to cultivate ideas by empowering the next generation of community leaders, scholars, innovators, and change brokers with the wherewithal to create those movements that will transform our communities for the betterment of society as a whole.

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. pinned his famous Letter to Birmingham from a jail cell in the midst of the Civil Rights Movement. Malcolm X received an unorthodox and transformative education while incarcerated. History tells of countless movements where the change-makers we came to celebrate organized from the confines of a prison cell. So how do we organize with our incarcerated leaders?*
Program & Public Policy
Program and public policy development plays a central role in the lives of every human being on the planet.
