Welcoming Project offers LGBTQ activist scholarships

Deadline for application is March 1.

The Welcoming Project (TWP) will award a $500 scholarship to one undergraduate student and a $500 scholarship to one graduate student who provide outstanding contributions to LGBTQ activism. In 2013 TWP received applications from LGBTQ activist students at four schools in two states and hope for even more schools and states in 2014.

Applicants must be enrolled in degree-granting institutions in August 2014 and provide an outstanding contribution to LGBTQ activism. The award winners will be announced at TWP’s anniversary celebration in April.

The scholarship deadline is March 1. Application forms to both undergraduate and graduate forms are available at the Welcoming Project website: www.thewelcomingproject.org.
