LEAD California’s Community Engagement Student Fellowship (CESF) program is a 4-month initiative specifically designed to support student leaders advancing service, service-learning and community engagement at LEAD California member campuses throughout the state. Cal Poly Pomona’s Center for Community Engagement is accepting applications for two Spring 2026 Fellows. The selected Fellows will receive a $500 scholarship from LEAD California upon successfully completing a term of service of at least 35-50 hours.
Student Fellows are engaged in providing direct service to the community or supporting a service-learning program, or both. They are involved in addressing every major issue confronting California and beyond – from access to and success in higher education to economic development, health disparities to homelessness and poverty. Students must be enrolled in classes in Spring 2026 and remain in good academic standing to participate in the program.
Finalists will be invited to an interview. Deadline to apply is January 30, 2026.
