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.
