The Forward Freethought Tuition Relief Scholarships is funded by generous FFRF benefactor Lance Bredvold. This year, the students were selected by Black Skeptics Los Angeles, an African-American humanist-atheist community-based organization.
FFRF has previously partnered with BSLA in its annual “first in the family” humanist scholarships for outstanding secular students of color.
In an article in Freethought Today, scholarship recipient Kaylin Nelson said, “God has been used to spread hatred, to protect abusers and to shame victims. I no longer see church as a place of worship, but rather as a breeding ground for future abusers and abuse apologists.”
