What is Act Six?

Act Six is a leadership and scholarship program that connects local faith-based community affiliates with faith- and social justice-based colleges to equip emerging urban and community leaders to engage the college campus and their communities at home. Also, it is a full-tuition, full-need scholarship! Learn more about the scholarship here.
