Happy PRIDE from all of us here at Scholly!
Our credo is “opportunity for all,” and we’re proud to extend our warmest support, allyship, and advocacy to the LGBTQ+ community—this month and always.
With PRIDE month in full swing (and a week left to celebrate), we thought we’d share two of our favorite LGBTQ+ scholarship opportunities.
Click on the name of the scholarship for more information and directions for exactly how to apply.
Easy Scholarship: Support the LGBTQ+ Community
Amount: $2,000
Due Date: June 30, 2019 (Hurry, you still have time!)
Quick Facts: This scholarship is awarded by DoSomething.org, which is assembling an amazing, crowdsourced guide full of LGBTQ+ and allyship tips and resources that they plan to send to students around the country.
Submit your tip for the guide and you’ll immediately be entered to win a $2,000 scholarship!
According to DoSomething.Org, “roughly one-third of LGBTQ+ students have skipped school over safety concerns related to bullying or harassment,” so please help by submitting your tip. You can make a huge impact this way, even if you don’t win this time around!
LGBTQ Scholarship For Senior High School Students
Amount: $500
Due Date: August 1, 2019
Quick Facts: The LGBTQ Support and Social Group USA awards a yearly college scholarship to a rising college freshman in the LGBTQ+ community, supported by fundraising efforts throughout the year.
You must have documented volunteer work at an LGBTQ+ support group or organization, and will need to complete a short essay to be eligible.
Sharing is Caring!
We highly encourage you to submit to and share these opportunities. If you’re not a member of the LGBTQ+ community, please pass them along to someone who could use the extra support!
