EQUALITY IN EDUCATION SCHOLARSHIPS
Historically, LGBTQ+ students are left out of important programs that recognize their contributions to creating equitable and inclusive schools and larger community. While other scholarships exist in Loudoun to recognize the needs of other marginalized community, only Equality Loudoun offers scholarships specifically for LGBTQ+ students in Loudoun County with the goal of pursuing higher education.
The Equality in Education Scholarships are awarded in June of each year at our annual Loudoun Pride Festival. To date, over $13,000 in scholarships have been awarded. Each year, we set a goal to provide over $10,000 in scholarships in increments of $2,500 and $1,000, based on need and scores. To learn more, please support our annual Give Choose donation drive in March or Donate that goes entirely to our scholarship program.
Eligibility criteria are as follows:
-
Submissions are due by May 1, 2024.

Student must be in their last two years enrolled at least half time, at a public school, private school, or homeschooling program in Loudoun County or enrolled in your first two years of higher education in Loudoun County.

SCHOLARSHIP WORKSHOP
Every year, a member of our Scholarship Selection Committee hosts a virtual Scholarship Workshop for all of those who need a little extra help or feel intimidated by the scholarship process, whether it is ours or another organization's scholarship.
This year, the Workshop will be hosted on April 11, at 7 pm, by President Candice Tuck. As we get closer to the workshop, you will receive an email with the meeting link.
