Scholar Resources

Providing resources to scholars is central to our mission of supporting Black Coloradans through innovative educational and community programs.

Through our flagship Scholarship Program, we empower Sachs Scholars to overcome barriers, achieve their academic goals, and contribute positively to their communities.

This investment in our scholars’ futures is an investment in a brighter future for all.

Everyday student success is so much more than tuition. For unexpected circumstances related to housing, utilities, food, or transportation that will allow a student to persist in their studies, we provide emergency assistance to Sachs Scholars in good standing.

This is a summer school with a difference: you will join local activists, community members, University of Bristol students and Fulbright Commission scholars as you contribute directly to a city-wide movement of change.

This programme is open to international students from any academic discipline who want to understand the context for and learn the tools to effect change.

You’ll learn how to create transformative change in the world around you in a range of skill-building, creative and academic sessions delivered by a network of community leaders, activists, academics and artists from Bristol’s thriving grassroots sector and around the world.

The summer school focuses on six overlapping themes:

• Racism and social justice
• Colonialism and independence
• Global feminisms
• Migration and refugees
• Environmental sustainability
• Health and wellbeing
