Student Scholarships Community Leaders Association


100% of donations directly benefit students in the form of scholarships! 

“Receiving the CLA scholarship in the 2023-2024 year has been such an amazing experience. It was a blessing and a dream come true during a period of financial strain for me and my family. I am so grateful for this scholarship since it has provided me with the opportunity to study and attend classes with less stress. Also, through the scholarship, I have got to meet amazing people like the other scholarship recipients as well as professionals at the Mathews Leadership Forum who have inspired me to be the best version of myself. I appreciate this scholarship and just as the CLA scholarship has been a blessing to me, I hope to be a blessing to others.”
