Scholarship Opportunities
LGBTQIA+ Scholarship Guide
Students who belong to the LGBTQIA+ community face a variety of obstacles that includes lack of familial support, high demands on college expenses, and fears of selecting a gender while filling out FAFSA. Earning a scholarship can significantly mitigate these concerns.
LGBTQIA+ scholarships have been made available from various public and private organizations including the Human Rights Campaign, Campus Pride, and more. Some are open to all LGBTQIA+ students, whereas others are designated for members of specific subgroups (e.g., transgender individuals). BestColleges.com has created a comprehensive list of these scholarships, which can be viewed by accessing the link below!
Nursing Scholarships
Nurses are an integral part of our society. They provide invaluable care and support to a wide range of individuals from many different backgrounds. As such, representation in the nursing field is incredibly important. Many aspiring LGBTQIA+ nurses face social obstacles in their pursuit of education, and financial setbacks should not be one of them.
With this in mind, the team at NurseJournal.org has compiled a database of valuable LGBTQIA+ nursing scholarships for ¹ÏÉñÍø students. Click the link below to find out more!
