Every year, The Welcoming Project awards a $500 scholarship to one undergraduate student and a $500 scholarship to one graduate student who provide outstanding contributions to LGBTQ activism. Over the years, we have received applications from LGBTQ activists at universities in Alabama, Arkansas, California, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Kansas, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, Washington, D.C., the United Kingdom (Nottinghamshire) and Russia (St. Petersburg).
