The Sandra Vivanco Diversity Scholarship supports CCA diversity students with a focus on women of color, non-binary, transgender, and DACA/Dreamer students in financial need across all divisions of the college.
Last year, generous CCA donors committed nearly $35,000 to this scholarship, and as a result, four talented students were awarded scholarships this academic year.
Equipping students with creativity, resiliency, innovation, and compassion has never been more critical to prepare the next generation of creative leaders. Gifts to Sandra Vivanco Diversity Scholarship will make a direct impact on students, sustaining them through this difficult time and inspiring them to create positive change.
Sandra Vivanco, professor in the CCA Architecture Division and Critical Ethnic Studies Program, taught at CCA for more than two decades and embodied much of what we value about our CCA community. Her lifetime of advocacy for, and support of, underserved and underrepresented communities continues to inspire us. You may visit the page dedicated to honoring Sandra's memory here.
