Students who receive support and kindness from their communities have a better chance of being successful and having a good college experience.
To ensure that LGBTQ+ students get the kind of support they need, the LGBTQ+ College Scholarship will help New York high school seniors who identify as LGBTQ+. Through this scholarship, students will get a boost to propel them forward in their educational journey.
New York high school seniors of the 2023 graduating class are eligible to apply if they identify as part of the LGBTQ+ community. To apply, write about your experience in the LGBTQ+ community, your plans for giving back, what you are looking to study in school, and why a scholarship is important to you financially.
Tell us about your experience in the LGTBTQ+ community. Do you see yourself as some who has or will give back to the community?
Additionally, please tell us what you plan on or are currently studying in school and why receiving a scholarship is important to you financially.
The application deadline is Jun 1, 2024. Winners will be announced on Jun 30, 2024.

Award amounts per winner are designated by the donor. Check the award amount for a detailed breakdown.
The winner will be publicly announced on Jun 30, 2024. Prior to the announcement date, we may contact finalists with additional questions about their application. We will work with donors to review all applications according to the scholarship criteria. Winners will be chosen based on the merit of their application.
Award checks will be sent to the financial aid office of the winner's academic institution or future academic institution in their name to be applied to their tuition, and in the name of their institution (depending on the school's requirements). If the award is for a qualified educational non-tuition expense, we will work with the winner directly to distribute the award and make sure it goes towards qualified expenses.
Before we award the scholarship, the winner will be required to confirm their academic enrollment status. Depending on the circumstances, verification of Student ID and/or their most recent transcript will be required.
