2023 CREA Foundation Annual Report

CSUN Induction Ceremony

OCTOBER 2023

In 2023, CREA Foundation, in collaboration with academic partner California State University, Northridge, announced the selection of the CREA Scholars Class of 2027.

After reviewing applications and conducting interviews, leaders from CREA Foundation and CSUN selected twenty incoming freshman to each receive a scholarship averaging $5,000, starting at the onset of the 2023-24 academic year and continuing annually. This initiative aims to support their aspirations of achieving a post-secondary degree.

The program generated significant interest, resulting in a competitive application process.

“By creating the CREA Scholars Program at CSUN, CREA Foundation opened doors of opportunity for students to achieve their highest aspirations,” said CSUN President, Erika D. Beck. “We were deeply grateful to CREA Foundation for its impactful investment in our students and our mission of enabling human potential through the transformative power of a CSUN degree. We were proud to welcome the inaugural cohort of CREA Scholars at CSUN as they began their college journey, and we look forward to continuing to collaborate with CREA Foundation in building a brighter and more equitable future.”

The official induction ceremony occurred on October 15th at CSUN, where each scholarship recipient walked across the stage to begin their journey as a CREA Scholar.
