Cavaliers Scholarship Program
Scholarship Sponsored by Cleveland Cavaliers
The Cleveland Cavaliers Community Foundation is excited to introduce an inaugural scholarship program dedicated to the success of students attending Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs). We are proud to honor the rich history of HBCUs while providing students the opportunity to thrive academically and beyond. SPIDACARES joins the Cavaliers to support the HBCU Scholarship Program.
