The Sara Thompson Magical Mermaid Scholarship is given in honor of Sara Thompson, a fabulous high femme, a warrior for the community, and a fierce friend. Sara believed in the power of all people to create opportunities from difficulties and often lent her strength to those who needed it most. To continue her legacy, this scholarship is intended to lend strength through monetary support to LGBTQ+ community members of all ages, whether in school or not, to support their ongoing efforts to create positive change in their own lives or the lives of others. Applicants must currently attend a Colorado high school, or must be enrolled or admitted to a Colorado institution for higher education, or must have lived in Colorado for at least two years. The scholarship can be used for personal growth/development or higher education plans. Please visit the scholarship's website or contact the Longmont Community Foundation for more information.
