Participants in the Senator Gregory Luna Legislative Scholars and Fellows Program gain invaluable experience and exposure to the Texas Senate by serving as full-time legislative staffers during Texas legislative sessions. Scholars and Fellows receive a monthly stipend to compensate them for their work and assist them with living expenses.
Since 2001, the program has supported the development of over 200 young Texas leaders.
This transformative fellowship program is named after the late Texas Senator Gregory Luna. Senator Luna represented Bexar County in the Texas Legislature from 1985-1999. The Senator was a one time chair of the Senate Hispanic Caucus. During his tenure, he served as a champion of the people and strove to break down barriers and build pathways of opportunity for Texas’ less fortunate citizens.
