The Pride Foundation Community Scholarships will be awarded to students who lack a broader LGBTQ+ community support system, demonstrate leadership and leadership potential on LGBTQ+ issues, and face additional barriers to educational access, especially LGBTQ+ students of color, transgender students, LGBTQ+ immigrant students, LGBTQ+ youth aging out of foster care, and students who have experienced homelessness, poverty, or isolation due to geography. Applicants must be pursuing post-secondary education in the coming 2025-2026 school year. This includes community college; four-year public or private college or university; certificate programs; vocational, technical, and trade programs; law school; medical, dental, and veterinary school; or graduate education. Three essays are required, the Personal Statement and the Community Involvement essay may be submitted in written form or a video essay. Optional materials that can be included with the application are academic transcripts; a resume with work experience, school activities and honors, and extracurricular and community activities, including volunteer roles, arts, and/or activism; a letter of recommendation; and 1-2 writing or art samples.
