Riverside Community College District Foundation announced a collaboration with 100 Black Men of The Inland Empire (100 BMIE) to introduce the 100 BMIE Umoja Scholarship Fund. Their investment underscores their commitment to supporting individuals in their pursuit of higher education and academic excellence.

 

The 100 BMIE Umoja Scholarship Fund will provide financial aid to students at Moreno Valley College, Norco College and Riverside City College. Each college will award $1,000 to a deserving Umoja student, aiding them in overcoming financial barriers and propelling them towards their educational aspirations.

 

Currently, 100 BMIE is actively engaged in middle and high school education across Riverside and San Bernardino counties and seeks to expand its reach to the collegiate level. The organization envisions establishing a strong partnership with RCCD as the first step in their broader mission to collaborate with other colleges and universities.
