- Students of color
- Students raised by LGBT parents
- Students entering fields such as law, health, social work, business, and art
- Students that participate in athletics
- And many, many more! For a complete list, please see our scholarship fund page
Students who have been stigmatized or isolated, because of their sexual orientation or gender identity often lack critical family, financial, and community support. Encouraging them to continue their education can be very challenging. Too often, individuals of great promise give up because they don’t think anyone believes in them or cares what they have to contribute. Pride Foundation also recognizes students who may not be gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgender, but who have contributed to the LGBT community. These may be the children of LGBT parents, or just friends of our community whose leadership skills we want to foster.
Pride Foundation gave its first scholarship in 1993 and since then has awarded $1.4 million to nearly 800 scholars!
