Since 2001, the Senate Hispanic Research Council (SHRC) has been devoted to providing emerging leaders with rewarding opportunities and enriching experiences, committed to development and empowerment through essential learning in the Texas Legislature. We advance our mission through the Senator Gregory Luna Legislative Scholars and Fellows Program.
Participants in the Senator Gregory Luna Legislative Scholars and Fellows Program gain invaluable experience and exposure to the Texas Senate as full-time legislative aides during Texas legislative sessions. Scholars and Fellows receive a monthly stipend to compensate them for their work and assist them with living expenses.
This unique and enriching fellowship program is named after the late Texas Senator Gregory Luna, who represented Bexar County in the Texas Legislature from 1985-1999, was a one time chair of the Senate Hispanic Caucus, and served as a champion of the people who strove to dissolve barriers for Texas’ less fortunate citizens.
