Multicultural Scholarship Opportunities

Scholarship Programs

Mosaic Scholars Program

The Mosaic Scholar Program is a leadership development program built around two different scholarships affiliated with our office (Act Six scholarship and Multicultural Leadership Scholarship). Collectively, and in class-specific cohorts, the Mosaic Scholars engage in retreats, training, meetings, service and leadership opportunities. These scholars are well-known at George Fox and are leaders within and outside of the university community.

Associates-to-Bachelors Beacon Transfer Scholarship

The George Fox Associates-to-Bachelors Beacon Transfer Scholarship Program is designed to provide first-generation students and students from underserved populations an opportunity to continue their education and earn a bachelor’s degree at George Fox University after completing an associate’s degree at a community college in Oregon or Washington.

Each year, 12 to 14 selected scholars will receive a two-year, full-tuition scholarship and will be expected to participate in transitional programming designed to ensure academic success. These students will join cohort-style support meetings through the duration of their two-year experience to engage in deliberate conversations on leadership before returning to their communities as agents of change.

Applications for the fall 2025 cohort will be available soon.

Multicultural Leadership Scholarship Program

As a core value, George Fox is committed to living out our commitment to reflect the diversity of God's kingdom. In order to live out this value, we have created a program that is designed to recruit and retain student leaders who are committed to diversity (ethnicity, socio-economic status, and physical disability) and have a passion for promoting multicultural awareness.

Applications close April 1, 2024
