1 MINUTE READ

Equality Utah, Utah’s largest LGBTQ+ political organization, announced it will provide financial assistance to LGBTQ+ students across the state.

“We are looking to assist students who have financial need, have demonstrated a commitment to building community, and are eager to excel,” the group wrote in a statement.

Through the scholarship program, eligible students can receive up to $2,500, which can be renewed annually for up to three years. In addition to the financial aid, recipients will also benefit from personalized mentoring provided by Equality Utah and their certified Business Equality Leaders.

To be considered for the scholarship, freshmen and sophomores must be enrolled full-time in accredited colleges within Utah. The organization encourages interested students to submit their applications no later than July 21.

Equality Utah encourages community involvement in identifying students who could benefit from this financial boost.

“We are immensely grateful to the donors, mentors, and scholarship team who have made this program available for our community,” the group wrote. “LGBTQ Utahns have tremendous potential to be a positive force in the world. We are happy to do our part to ensure the next generation have the opportunities and resources they need to soar through life.”
