NewStory LA
Student Scholarships
Applications are now open for the 2025–2026 academic year.
About the scholarship
Helping students pursue their academic dreams
The NewStory Scholarship began in response to the continued systemic racism and injustices impacting communities of color. The scholarship evolved to expand this opportunity to a need‑based grant to students of all races. We hope that this scholarship will empower students to pursue their academic dreams and make an impact on communities in Los Angeles.
