Excellence in Service Learning Endowed Scholarship Fund

In April 2018, the Center for Community Learning and Leadership received a generous endowment from Dr. Stephen Kwan and Amy Kwan to establish the Excellence in Service Learning Endowed Scholarship Fund. Service learning is an instructional strategy that connects academic learning with meaningful service that addresses community needs. The Endowment provides scholarships to students who have demonstrated excellence in service learning activities that have made a positive difference in San Jose.
