PFLAG Norman offers scholarships for high school seniors

PFLAG Norman, a support, education and advocacy organization, has announced it will award two $1000 scholarships to graduating high school seniors from Norman; including public, private or home-schooled students.

Applicants for a scholarship must be a resident of Norman and committed to moving equality forward for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender persons in our society. Applicants also must be furthering their education or training in an accredited program within the year following graduation and the scholarship will be applied to their tuition and fees.
