THE LGBTQ+ VITALITY SCHOLARSHIP

The LGBTQ+ Vitality Scholarship is designed to support LGBTQ+ individuals pursuing academic goals while promoting their overall health and well-being. LGBTQ+ students face unique challenges, and we want to empower them as they focus on higher education. Education is a powerful tool for creating personal growth and positive change. Unfortunately, LGBTQ+ individuals often encounter distinct obstacles that can impact their mental, emotional, and physical well-being, on top of the stressors that naturally come with school. Discrimination, social stigma, and a lack of access to proper resources are just a few examples of the challenges faced by the LGBTQ+ community, both in and out of the classroom. This scholarship aims to support and empower the next generation of LGBTQ+ leaders so they can find personal and professional fulfillment in addition to creating a more inclusive and equitable society.
