About the scholarship program
Is this a loan?
No. This is a grant. There is no repayment obligation. The money is yours to use for program costs.
Who can apply?
LGBTQ+ students at U.S. colleges with a 2.5 GPA minimum who are accepted to or applying for a study abroad program. Financial need is required — but need is relative. You don’t need to be in poverty to qualify.
When is the deadline?
January 15, 2027 for the first cohort. The first scholars travel by World Pride 2027.
Do I need recommendation letters?
No. We made that a design decision. Recommendation letters favor students with access to the right networks. We score on need, fit, and intent instead.
Can I stay anonymous?
Yes. You can appear in the founding record under a handle, initials, or “Scholar #12.” Being publicly named as LGBTQ+ is not safe for everyone. Anonymity is a design feature.
