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, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Kansas, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Missouri, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Texas, and Russia (St. Petersburg). We are impressed with the caliber of students around the world who are dedicated to LGBTQ activism and proud to continue to offer these scholarships to support their work.
