At Strategic Community Partners, we believe in leading with passion, excellence, integrity, and equity to build opportunity with and for communities. But this mission isn’t just ours - it’s all of ours.

Every day, we see individuals and organizations within our community working alongside us towards this goal and striving for equity in their personal and professional lives. They are the lifeblood of our neighborhoods and help drive meaningful change for those around them. The Strategic Community Partners Annual Scholarship Fund aims to acknowledge and uplift youth and community leaders who are living this work and leading by example with passion, excellence, integrity, and equity. Since 2020, the SCP Annual Scholarship Fund has uplifted three inspiring leaders each year, each of whom is serving their communities in a unique way. 

For questions about the SCP Annual Scholarship Fund, please contact info@strategiccommunitypartners.org.

We are also looking for passionate individuals to help spread the word and review our award applications.
