To all Nominators:

At City Scholars® Foundation, we help education nonprofits thrive to give thousands of low-income youth a better chance to learn and achieve against the odds. To fulfill our mission, we sponsor our City Scholars® Fellowship for Education.

As a collaborative, high-impact leadership and capacity building institute, our City Scholars® Fellowship for Education is more than a one-time training experience. Rather, through continuing education and ongoing engagement, it fosters a vibrant and diverse leadership learning community focused on action and accountability.

Partnering with executive volunteers, our Fellowship for Education helps smart, passionate and extraordinarily collaborative nonprofit CEOs, who as established executives and emerging leaders, are distinguished as City Scholars® Foundation Fellows. Together, Foundation Fellows learn, grow and collaborate building essential business and leadership skills, confidence and connections to grow education nonprofits (whether after-school or school-based) from survival to success to significance. Youth served by our Foundation Fellows and the education nonprofits they lead are primarily Pre-K to college.

Thank you for helping us make our mission possible by nominating an exceptional nonprofit CEO as a prospective Foundation Fellow. Nominations are not a guarantee of admission, but rather an opportunity for us to get to know passionate leaders throughout the greater Southern California region.

If you wish to nominate multiple leaders, please submit a separate nomination for each leader. If you have any questions, please contact us at 213-627-1792 or at fellowship@cityscholars.org.
