Supporting Emerging Leaders in Social Change

EmVision Social Impact Scholarship Fund at UMass Boston

Established in 2022, the EmVision Social Impact Scholarship Fund at UMass Boston supports graduate students in the Critical Ethnic & Community Studies (CECS) program, which focuses on social justice, cultural expression, and community action. EmVision Scholars receive flexible funding to complete their studies, be it to buy books or baby diapers, thereby removing financial barriers to academic success. To date, we have committed over $50,000, and offer mentorship and applied opportunities.

We support CECS because of shared missions fostering community change-makers and because UMass Boston graduates tend to stay, work, and lead in Massachusetts.
