I'm a gay high school junior and I'm exploring colleges, but ideally, I'd love to find scholarships specifically for LGBTQ+ students. Does anyone know of scholarships available for gay college students?
Yes, there are several scholarships available specifically for LGBTQ+ students to help support your college journey. Many organizations offer these scholarships to promote diversity and inclusion, and to support students from all backgrounds.
One example of such a scholarship is the Pride Foundation Scholarships, which grants scholarships to current and future leaders in the LGBTQ+ community.
The Point Foundation is another example, it is the nation's largest scholarship-granting organization for LGBTQ+ students of merit. They consider academic achievement, personal merit, leadership, involvement in the LGBTQ+ community, professional experiences, financial need, and personal and future goals in their selection process.
The LEAGUE Foundation also offers multiple scholarships for self-identified LGBTQ+ high school seniors.
Remember, each scholarship has its own eligibility requirements and application deadlines, so be sure to research each opportunity thoroughly to understand their individual criteria. Good luck with your college and scholarship applications!
