Indy Pride : Who We Are : Scholarship

Indy Pride Scholarship Program

Note: The scholarship program is in the process of being revised. The new application will be released in July 2010

Statement of Purpose

This scholarship has been established as a way for Indy Pride, Inc. to reward future and current students attending an accredited Indiana-based university or college who are making significant contributions to the Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, and Transgendered (GLBT) community.  The scholarship also provides for those who identify as members of the GLBT community who have demonstrated a lack of support to attend an institute of higher education.

Scholarship Process

All scholarship applications must be submitted or postmarked by October 1st. After the deadline, the Scholarship Committee, made up of members of the Indy Pride Board of Directors, will meet to begin vetting the applications and to verify letters of recommendations. At the October Board of Director's Meeting, verified applications will be distributed for evaluation to all members of the Board.

At the November Meeting, the Board will discuss all applications and decide which applicants will be awarded scholarships, and following the decision making process, the scholarships will be awarded at the annual Community Thanksgiving Dinner.

Scholarship funds will be distributed directly to the university in the spring semester following the scholarship award, or if the recipient is a high school student, the fall semester of their freshmen year.
