The Pride Center Youth Scholarship is intended to help Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender Queer/Questioning or allied (LGBTQA) students who are in need of financial support to defray the cost of a college education, which for many can seem an insurmountable obstacle to success. The Pride Center believes these students should not be further disadvantaged as they prepare for the future.
Background on Scholarship: LGBTQ youth often face tough and complicated challenges in their high school years. The Pride Center Youth Scholarship was formed to assist LGBTQ youth by publicly recognizing the particular challenges they face and rewarding their successes. Since 2010, twenty awards have been given to local LGBTQ high school seniors, ranging in geography from Glens Falls to Hudson, and entering a range of colleges from Skidmore to SUNY Plattsburgh.
